Rodney,
If you go to http://www.tigersunited.com/ and look at the car on the
first page, the car shown has the Silverstone wheels made by American
Racing, in Los Angeles. This is my car, and those wheels were a dealer
option when it was purchased. They are aluminum. Another version
looked the same, but was magnesium. Unfortunately, though lighter, the
magnesium got brittle with age and were disallowed for racing as they aged.
This wheel is no longer made, but some "look similar" wheels are,
depending on one's criticality. There is a page of wheels on the site,
as well, on other Tigers,
http://www.tigersunited.com/techtips/tech_threads/tt-wheel.asp and I
have hidden one with strong wire wheels (not Alpine) on the site.
