There aren't any.

Most wheels have to be purchased second hand.

The only place that I know of that sells new wheels for our cars is Diamond Racing Wheels, but those are steel circle-track wheels, which is probably not what you're looking for.

Note the wheels in the above posters sig: revolutions are super hot and pop up on ebay now and then. I think there is a set for sale in the 1st gen classified section right now for 500, if I'm not mistaken. On top of being lightweight, they are totally period correct. The original ones are no longer produced.

I have 2 sets of wheels for sale in the 1st gen parts section, 1 set is the Revolutions, and I have yet to see a nicer set anywhere. The other set is made by Rockwell. They are in good condition too, but I'm not happy with the powdercoating job I did on them. If you would like a different powdercoat on the Rockwells, the price will double, or I could professionally paint them for an additional $150 in the color of your choice. I will not warant the current powdercoat finsh on them.

Here is the link to the ad.

If you want something taller than 13" wheels, you will need to look hard, be patient and be be prepared to pay considerably more.

It's been so long since I've had the wheels on a car that I don't remember for sure. I did take a couple of pics when I test fitted them. The car shown is lowered and there were no clearence issues with the Hoosiers.

Rota wheel is making the RB in a 13 by 8 wheel with a 4 on 110.
They look like Panasports and cost about $100 each.

Mine are TSW Hockeheim R's. I would imagine they sell more than just the Hockenheim R for our cars, but I do have the SE. Can anyone confirm if the SE is equally hard to find wheels for?

Konig makes some called Rewinds and they are 15x7 with a 4x110 bolt patern. I cann't remember the web site but you can order them from any dealer that sells them.

Will the +40mm offset cause any problems?

Offset varies with rim width, backspace does not. Don't confuse the two.

Thanks!

Would the 13 x 8 be too wide for a 205/60-13, or are they better for the larger 225/45-13 and those sorts of tires?
