Bob Yarwood, in California, was selling a set of American Mag "TYPE" wheels. I
suspect that someone purchased undrilled wheeled, drilled them to TR bolt
circle. He never revealed his source.
The Volkswagen wheels were about $69 per wheel in the Whitney catalog, but
Yarwood got $500 for a set of four. I have two sets. One is used on #197. Made
in Taiwan or Korea, I think.
There is also another distributor in Cities of Industries, CA. This wheel was
even cheaper, I believe. The cross section of material in the spokes was
thinner, but it looked quite good. Made in Mexico, I believe.
