I just bought a used set from Mr. Mustang from an ERA he has for sale, wheels plus inserts and knockoffs. Perhaps he or ERA itself might know of another set for sale somewhere? These were Compomotive, which are no longer manufactured.
When the inserts are done correctly it is virtually impossible to tell if the wheel is a true knockoff or a bolt on. I've had people look very closely at mine and they could not tell until I told them where and what to look for. With the bolt on Team III wheels you can tell at a glance. Plus, I prefer to have a bolt on wheel over a spinner retained wheel myself.

The ones on my Hurricane are fiberglass centers. I would like to get
a spare setup too.

Wow, and I thought that the Hurricane inserts were aluminum. |

Are your inserts aluminum or fiberglass?
I took a look at the Team III wheels last night and they show a neat cover that covers the lug bolts. Looks pretty nice. Unfortunately I already have wheels and tires. I'm thinking I may sell them on eBay and spring for the 17" Team wheels. But I think I will finish my build first and decide later.

Cast aluminum, and there is another set up for sale in the parts section (not from me).
