I got the same kind of surprise this past weekend. I requested a catalog from
Superlite Wheels in the U.K.. The website listed the 13x6 wheels for a Spit
as $96 (U.S.). When I got the flyer (no catalog) from the U.S. dealer - Open
Mind Inc., they listed the same wheels at $159 each! Needless to say I won't
be ordering a set of Superlite wheels for my '77. &:o(>
Thanks,
