Does anyone know anything about the Capri wheels that
are supposed to look like the LAT22 option wheels for
the Tiger? These option wheels are about $1000 on the
used market and the clones cost even more. But I have
heard there is a capri wheel that is very similar.
ANybody know the years they come from or where to get
some?
