Will you please arrange for one of the Staybrite wheels that have recently been produced by Dunlops to be run on the bumper against a standard wheel. I am particularly anxious to see if the spokes of these wheels stand up better than the spokes of the American Staybrite wheels. I am arranging for a wheel to be sent over to you for this test.
