Pugs,

The wheel is made by  Compomotive, a British outfit, I believe.  This wheel
compares favorably, in style, to Ferrari of that age.  The wheel is style FH.  I
bought it mail-order from

MotorSport Specialties
550 N. Franklin
Lancaster, Pa  17602
1-800-621-8408
1-717-397-7378

I ordered :
15x7 wheel
10mm offset  (2.54mm per inch)
5 on 4.5" bolt pattern
72mm centerbore

I have been very happy with these wheels, except the 6 month delivery time
(because of importing).  Like I said, this was 20 years ago, so I don't know if
the above company is still in business.
