    Default I would start with Niel Porter

    He knows Crossle's and he sells nice aluminum wheels. He would know what you need, even if he doesn't have it

    Google search will find his email otherwise PM me and I will send it to you

    +1 for Neil. I believe he is a Panasport dealer. They are excellent wheels, light, true and extremely tough. Neil sells the FF specific wheels.

    Check with Revolution Wheels - if you can't find a US dealer you can buy direct, cost less than Panasport

    Are you looking for original steel wheels, which were originally Dunlops (or one of a couple other, less popular brands) but are being made new in a similar pattern by Weller and others (including Les Wellers latest company)?

    Many Vintage organizations allow alum or mag wheels on an HFF but some do not. You should confirm with your main organization.

    In the east with FFCS you do need steel wheels to be considered HF (Historic cars on alloy wheels are bumped to CF). West coast groups accept alloy wheels in HF. I've got a set of four black Weller wheels, used one weekend, with the standard offset - about 3.4" backspace. PM if you are interested. Also have 6 Dunlops in good shape, but they are only 4.5" wide, so not ideal. I tried getting Wiz steel wheels earlier this year, but they were unavailable and future availability was unknown. One domestic source for steel wheels is Diamond Racing.

    Look forward to meeting you at an event. VRG & FFCS Watkins Glen is coming up fast!
