Minilte wheel question
I have a 66 coupe that I raced in SCCA B/P back in the mid 1970's. It currently has a set of 9 1/2'' magnesium Minilites on it front and rear. I got these from good friend Babe Headley who I raced and crewed with back then. I was told they came to Babe from Jerry Hansen. My wheels have a very thick center section that require a 6'' long wheel stud and also have adapters on them so a tapered lug nut versus a shouldered lug nut can be used. I've tried to contact Minilte about these with no success. Since these wheels are close to their 50th birthday I thought it might be a good idea to replace them with a new aluminum set using 8'' on the front and 10'' on the rear for street use. But not knowing if the type I have are still available is a big question regarding offset etc. . Anyone out know a good source of info on old/new Minilites ? Thanks , Ken
