Hank,
The pattern for that wheel is known as  a " phone dial " type. In
Performance Products catalogue on page 54 there is a C2 replica and a 993
replica wheel that's pretty dam close to the wheel in SCC on page 35 that
your looking for. Now for the real fun part there are about ten different
centers to choose from. The wheels are made it seems by or for *Performance*
hence they are called Performance Alloys. I don't know if that helps you, I
put the advertisement under a scope and there is no way I can read anything
with that resolution under the red quail or what ever that crest seems to
be. But at least you know some of us are looking out there for you. : )

I've
