Hi all, just wondering if anyone has purchased a set of Spectrum split rims recently as i am looking for a set. I thought that minispeed or another mini company had some replica ones made a while back? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Can You Still Buy Spectrum Wheels?

Yes i know paul and it was very much appreciated. I was just checking to see if anyone had managed to find a set as i understand you purchased yours a while back when they were readily available?

Metal Spinners had ceased production of them - they were talked into producing them for me and then they manufactured them for a short while after that but I heard they sold the rights to MiniSpeed

If it weren't for pauls info at a show i would have known to go to metal spinners for my rims. My centres are being refurbed at the moment having the bolts countersunk and 0.5mm skimmed off the face.
