Anyone know where I can by the old Mini Lite style wheels or if they are still even made?

Thx,

Do a yahoo search, they are still out there. The price, however, is comparable to custom made billets. Cool looking wheels, but too expensive for my tastes.

Thx guys. I'm thinking they might look good on my '74 TA. I had a set on my '79 Z28 and I really liked the road racy look it had.

Stuart, Thanks. I emailed them last night and they had a response back this morning! That was cool. They don't make them in 15"X10" and I think I need to get as much tire as possable under my TA with that stroker BUT I really like the minilite's. I wonder how much of a gain in traction I would really get on the street between a 8" wheel and a 10" wheel?

Maybe I should make that a new post.

I saw this posted on another forum...American Racing is now selling a Minilite-style wheel. It comes in 15x10, like you're looking for. They call it the Silverstone.
