Title: Where can I get some of these ?!!!

To me, these wheels are SICK! (cool for us older folk). They look like F1 single hole rims w/spinner nut...?  8)

From what I can see in the picture, they look like the wheels used on the 47 and 26R.  There's a few places in the UK that they're available in either aluminum or magnesium.  (One of my favorite wheels as well). One place that carries them is imagewheels.co.uk, model LM4.

Imagewheels has a lot of really nice wheels! If you want 3-piece wheels, these are really nice. I have Compomotive 3-piece wheels on my car but if I want to make a change, I'll have to get a new set of wheels because they no longer support their old 3-piece wheels.

I like those rear fender flares.  The rounded rear flare really sets off the lines of the car. Never liked the squared off wheel openings.  Any one know where I could get a set of them.   Tom

This page from Banks Engineering shows the rounded wheel arch mod, not shure if it is a panel they sell or just a mod they do... Couldn't hurt to call & ask.  :confused:
