Keith, Don, Charlie and anyone else interested in obtaining these wheels,
As I indicated I would in my earlier post, I called Bob Yarwood at Westfield
Cars. He distributes Compomotive wheels from England (the Superlites are
from Australia). Westfield Cars is in Creswell, Oregon (near Eugene).
Compomotive make a very light, very strong wheel to British competition
standards. The wheels can be obtained in about any offset you need, as well
as the bolt patterns. in 15", he has 6x15, 7x15 and 8x15. A set to fit an
Austin Healey would be about $725 exclusive of shipping.
Call Bob at (541)895-3000, or westfield@pond.net, or
http://www.swiftsite.com/westfieldcarsna with further questions, etc.
Other than Westfield helps sponsor some of our SCCA vintage races at PIR, I
have no affiliation with either company. I just think you will be much
happier with these wheels.
