British Wire Wheel's Minilite reproduction ad says, "...these alloy
wheels make them appropriate for vintage racing."
They're available splined, direct-bolt on and direct-bolt on with "mock"
knock-off set up. But, the only available size is 15" X 6" and they are
a bit on the pricey side. The price in the ad (which is at least a year
old) is $220 for the direct-bolt. The others are more expensive.
