Default Wire wheels and Rover's post?

A rather confusing post on a fairly complicated subject. First off, Bristols never were fitted with wire wheels, even as an option. Now, some owners may have gone to the expense of specifying wire wheels, and Bristols being essentially hand-built cars, these wishes could be filled quite easily. Many U.S. makes offered wires as an option. Makes like Chrysler and Cadillac, even Buick, on it's specialty models. These were all bolt-ons, not knockoffs. I have them on my Imperial. They are a far cry from a genuine knock-off, but they are original to the cars.

Wire wheels are available that would suit a 406 PCD in 16" and I have some good second hand hub caps or a 406 to 409 ( Flat centres for the correct badge )
