The LeCarra wheels use way better billet aluminum cores that do not bend like this junk that is being peddled by Pontiac restoration houses. Sure the Lecarra wheel is in leather and has a stitching on the grip at 5 o'clock, but if you can't find a good used Formula wheel (plenty exist in 1976 and newer grip size), this is the safe (and smarter) way to go:

The Lecarra wheel is not in stock any place I could find.

I bought a used late model wheel, so-so condition, just to drive the car and make it to a couple of events.

I ordered the Lecarra wheel through Jegs.. If you believe Jegs, the manufacturer will ship October 5th; Summit says November 4th. We shall see.
