The website for Centerline Wheels is http://www.centerlinewheels.com/ The 
billet wheels are the ones which can be ordered in the size we need for 
Bricklins. Don't change any of the dimensions or you will get interference 
problems.

The model I bought was the Scorpion. I liked the look and it is a relatively 
closed wheel so the brake drums and such don't show through. Another model 
which is closer in appearance to the original Bricklin wheels is the Pulsar.

The best price I found was mail ordering them from Summit Racing.

I have heard mixed things about truing original Bricklin wheels. Terry Tanner 
says many just can't be trued. Other folks have had good experiences. Buying 
new wheels isn't much more expensive than fixing up your old ones so I think 
the decision depends mainly on whether it is important to you to keep the car 
original. Whatever you decide, don't throw away the original wheels. They are 
rare.
