Just watched the latest episode of Car SOS featuring replacing the wires on a Mk2 Jaguar wheel which I guess is the same wheel used on the E Type. Can't wait to get started on these 72 spoke beauties. Happy modelling

No - not the same wheels.
The Mk2 were 5 x 15 wheels.
The E Type were 6.5 x 15.
Some people put the E Type wheels on the Mk2 but they risked fouling at the front on sharp cornering.
Back to the kit - the wheels look quite easy to assemble if you take your time.
If you want REALLY awkward wire wheels, have a go at one of the classic Pocher kits.
You'll tear your hair out.
