They’re as hard to find as an honest politician(P.A.Society members

excluded).Try to find somebody to manufacture one for you.Coker has

somebody making new rims.I will try to find more sources.Meanwhile secure a good line of credit.They may have to be machined out of a solid

billet.There was a guy in So. Cal making the best wheels at $15K to $25K

for 5 wheels 8 to 10 years ago.I think he’s retired.

My ’12 is an early one.It has non-demountable rims.I believe it has

Marsh rims and they have been on the car since new.I would like to know

more about P.A.’s use of rims in the early days.

I have 5 total (4 on the and one spare) I have two spares (thus, oe without the rim) It is not the end of the earth, but I would like to complete the set. At this time, the spares are covered, so it isn’t obvious. If I keep looking, something will develope.
