The subject of wire wheels can be confusing.
It doesn't help that wire wheels are referred to by so many different terms and misnomers: spokes, Daytons, TrueSpokes, Hundred spokes, goldthangs, centergolds, knock offs....and China's?!
In this video we discuss ways to tell if a set of spokes are made of stainless steel (Daytons) or steel. Stainless steel is more durable than steel, and it costs more money to produce. Stainless steel wheels will last a lifetime, if properly cared for. Stainless steel wheels also cost a whole lot more than plated steel wheels...trade offs!
Check out the video to learn a couple quick and dirty ways to tell if it's a Dayton, which is manufactured in the US and based in Dayton, OH; or a "China", so-called because they're manufactured by a variety of different companies located in China.
