Hi WST,
I think the saying "Rare as Hens Teeth" fits here. Good luck.
Is that the same rim that was also used on the few BMC Formula Juniors that
were built? I once heard from Rob that Winners Circle did actually possibly
have a set of those in their collection. That was years ago. . . Might be a
long shot
Cheers,
Mike Carpenter
