I think that they have to be imported, that's what i read somewhere, although i'm sure someone will correct me! Not too sure about sizing, i have only seen them in 13". Again, someone will probably correct me.

As said as well, lowandslow has some, his mini (called Pinkle i think?) was in one of he Mags. Maybe worth a PM.

There should be a sticky for all the things Marc has on his car, and where he gets them from. These topics crop up far too often... LOL.

Or from MWS right here in Britain. Not Midland Wheels (obviously) but Motor Wheel Services who have been selling wire wheels for all kinds of classics for many years.
