When my son bought his house, I found a couple of rusty bolt-on wire
wheels in the weeds. I gave them to a very knowledgable british car
mechanic (since gone). He was convinced they were for a Spitfire (I think
the center logo was Triumph). He said they were US wheels, made by Dayton
for dealer installation. He really knew his lbc's, so your friend might
try Dayton. The wheels I had seemed quasi universal; as I recall the
center caps had stick on labels.
