world of motorsports has them.  I've recently ordered from them and the parts I ordered where back ordered from their supplier.  They called me every few days until they shipped, just to keep a good line of communication, which I hadn't asked for, but was nonetheless pretty impressed with.

Thanks for the lead BCN, but I was looking at the other style Brian has.They look like my factory wheels on my 86. Thanks for checking Earl. Maybe I'd be better off calling. With the new turbo, I suspect I'm gonna have a hooking problem, plus those wheels would look alot better than what I have now. Too bad I heard they're made in China

they are made in china.   
When I saw them I thought they where pretty nice for a alum conversion to the original steel. 
What I didn't like was that the rim appeared (to my eyes), to have lost a bit of the "dish" look of the originals.  I am guessing due to keep the desired "strength"?
Assuming they are polished, they didn't seem to have the brightness that the original chrome did either.
When I'm in Rome, they do as I do

I 'm after the extra rim width plus the bonus of a decent looking wheel. My car doesn't shine that much anyway, a 50 foot car if you know what I mean. I just make sure the back of the car looks good cause that's what most people see anyway :cool;

I have heard WAY too many complaints about that place to buy from them. 

Good the hear you didn't get ripped off.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve, I was just about to ask Google who?, but it didn't much matter.The results were the same. That's why I don't go on TB much. I really think Shane has it staged as his own version of a reality show!!!! it's a shame, I really love those wheels, I have the money, but am not about to get screwed out of a grand. I'll keep running run my lame Jegs wheels.
