Probably just as well. I don't need any more distractions.

You've probably already seen these guys, but if you are not shy on cash, you can go with Image wheels(www.imagewheels.co.uk). They do a 3-piece Halibrand & BRM replica wheel in both lug nut & pin drive configuration. They do them up to 18" and any width up to 16".

I was tempted to grab a set of polished pin drive 18" BRM's. Too rich for me. So now going back to either US Billet wheels or Simmons/ROH 3-piece wheels. Simmons apparently do a true 18" reverse rim now. I wonder whether Simmons have increased their outer rim widths for their 18" range. All the wide wheels I have seen from them in 17" have had the bolt up hub made thicker as they did not have outer rims wide enough for Gulf flared GT40. Interesting that ROH seems to supply wider outer rims. And I wonder if I will be able to talk either into supplying an 18 x 13".
