I do somewhat agree with Bob Lang about the AR wheels. But I think he has
been soured a little by his tough experiences looking for a single really
rare wheel.
After looking long and hard for a set of AR silverstone wheels (8 spoke) I
had just about broke down and bought some Panasports or Minilite replicas.
They are very good wheels... no doubt about it. Attractive and better than
the originals.
Then I did end up finding a set. . . magnesium no less. I was (and still am)
delighted.
I was told that I would be out of luck as all the wheels were either snapped
up by the vintage racers, or were just plain old too expensive. True, but
it isn't hopeless.
If I were you, I'd go a head and get a set of new wheels. . .they won't
disappoint you. Then you can continue looking for the real mccoy without the
pressure. I don't imagine you'd have any trouble selling the replicas if you
did find your "dream wheels."
Just my two cents worth.
