I finally gave up trying to find new wheels, and found some used
Shelby's, 14x6.5 with 4 inch backspacing.  The front wheels stick out a
bit, but they look and work fine.

Have you found a supplier in the US for Superlites?  I balked at the
$160 air freight charge from England, considering also that if they are
incorrect, YOU have to pay freight back to them.

I was trying to get these guys to carry Superlites:

The Superlite site is at:

Any other sources for wheels?
