 I believe the ones you can buy now are the Minitor wheels made in England by 
KN.

I did a lot of research when I wanted to get rid of the 48-spoke wheels on our 
TR4.  I went with painted 60-spoke wheels from Dayton.  Bought them on sale 
from TRF.  The engineer at Dayton explained to me why the painted wheels are 
stronger and stiffer than the chrome.  Sue insisted on wire wheels, so the 
Daytons were the obvious choice.

I decry the textmessagization of the American-English language.
