Ok I have spoke to Steve Harris he has none, the Slark's they have none Richard Longman has a few but he wants them for his DataPost BTCC Mini so I am running out of options fast, I hope the project is not scuppered by some wheels, I have had all the logos made to the original Challenge spec even the car, but no wheels :shy:

There was a set for sale on the German ebay, 3 were in good condition and one would need a refurb. The seller was willing to post to the UK too and they were cheap! My dad when he had his GT was going to buy them. I've tried to find them since but had no luck. But I will have a few more tries for you,

I am happy as a pig in Mud as I have found some GKN Silverstone wheels so the project has all the correct parts to start the build,

I can't say as he won't tell anyone what he has, but I got them and thats all I care about, I think its the hardest parts to find bar none, could get 59 parts easier
