BFG still has them, but choices are narrowing. ![]() Jay Pitchford 65 Corsa convertible Columbus OH ![]() Re: Wheels for a late question Posted by:

() Date: January 17, 2012 09:42PM I like my American Racing 14" wheels, but they are no longer available; 15" are however, and I'm sure a tire with correct dimensions are easily available for them. ![]() Greg Miller Eugene, Oregon ![]() Re: Wheels for a late question Posted by:

() Date: January 18, 2012 04:24PM I had a set of Western Minilite replicas... they were "uni-lug" (slotted lug nut holes to fit several lug bolt patterns. Installing or removing a wheel was a serious PITA (further complicated by the spinner). I'd estimate 10-minutes to install a single wheel. Never again for me! YMMV Craig N.
