The January issue of GRM had an overview of SEMA,
and they showed a photo of some Konig wheels that
would fit the 3-6 range. Priced at $125 each.
Looked soemwhat like Minilites.

I ran across the Compomotive wheels several years ago and was interested
them as an alternative to the ubiquitous Panasports. Since then, I've not
run across a set of their ML competition wheels on any vintage race cars.

If anyone has any experience with these wheels -- especially the ML line --
I'd sure like to hear about it.
