You might try calling Motorhead. They sell used parts for, they say, about
50% of the price of new parts. 1-800-527-3140 in Fairfax, VA.
I got five used wheels for my Bugeye about 15 years ago just by going to a
local wrecking yard. Wrecking yards apparently have some sort of national
communication system for finding rare parts. When they came in, they cost me
$25 each. That might not work any more, the way they crush cars so quickly
now.
