I looked in to the Cosworth wheels. The price wasn't too bad at $200
except
they are heavy (almost 25 lbs.) and shipping from California to North
Carolina would have been steep. Second, they needed to be refinished.
I have a set of the old Cosmics alloy wheels (5 1/2 inch wide) if
someone
is looking for some unique wheels for their Midget.

Also, Vega wheels typically have too small a center bore to fit properly,
and must be enlarged. I doubt the offset will fit under a SWA, especially
at 6 inches.
