Default Kidney bean wheels

I'm looking at the feasibility of using "kidney bean" wheels, but I'm struggling to find information on the availability of these wheels, and also appropriate tyres.

Firstly, anybody know if PS Vintage / PS Engineering Vintage are still producing wheels and trading? I've seen thread info to say not, and haven't had a reply to emails.

PS Vintage were producing:

- Kidney Bean in 15”, and “all std. widths”
- FIA style in 15” x 6 ½” , 7 ½”, 8”, 8 ½”

If they were still trading, then I would be covered for the widths I need and also for suitable 15" tyres, and all is OK.

Secondly, Trigo produce:

- FIA style in 15” x 7 ½” and 15” x 9 ½” (9 ½” on the rear is too wide for what I want, and using 7 ½” wheels front and rear won't look right)

- Kidney Bean style in 16” x 6” and 16” x 8”

These kidney bean widths are suitable, but 16" tyres don't seem to be at all popular. Anybody know where, for example, 255/60x16 tyres can be sourced?

Cheers,
Glen
