Good morning folks :
I have been trying to get in touch with this wheel manufacturer, however, to no avail, the phone is not working and no reply to my emails. Does anyone know any info regarding them?
This is the wheel style I need.
Thanks
Lou

I can't help you with Minilite if you need the specific brand, but if you need a whole set that looks like that, Vintage Wheel Works style V48 is very similar to the picture you posted. I have a different style of their wheels on my car and they were responsive and the wheels appear to be well made.

I found 5 lug 15" wheels on their site at ML Motorsport Wheels

Scroll down - the 15" wheels are the last 8 on the page, available in widths from 5.5" to 9". All are available with 5 lug patterns, and there are a variety of offsets.

They still have them listed for purchase on their website, but only in 16" and 17", and I guess you're looking for 15".

Have you tried PS Engineering Vintage Wheels? They have 15" and 17" sizes of their T/A II wheels (which look like your picture) at the bottom left of their products page. I can't link to it for some reason, but you should be able to find it.

These are pretty close. I've dealt with Image Wheels before and received good service.

I have Shelby Minilite's on my 1985 SAAB 900 Turbo, they were a factory option.

Minilite by Vintage update
Well I emailed Vintage twice, to date no response I guess they don't need the business???? I even tried to contact them via E-Bay-zero response.

I use a similar wheel on my Austin Healey Rally car. The size we uses is 15 x 5.5 but they make a range of sizes.

These are knock-ons (splined hubs with spinner) and the wheel name is Minator. They make bolt-ons also.

They are freely available in the UK from Specialist Car Products Limited

Or if you want the original, look up Minilite here in the UK.

I purchased 15x8 & 15x10 Miinlites for my FIA. I purchased them in two different orders. The first was from a state side supplier. By the time I got around to purchasing the rears that company was out of business so I purchased straight from Minlite U.K.

The price with shipping was half of the U.S. distributor. They did not stock 15x10 so it took several months to have them cast and machined. It was all done with email and I had no problems.
