My periodic post again to trigger some vendor interest in period wire wheels. Only ones I know of currently available in US are modern- say sixties and newer, for wide tires.
The best wheels I found for pre-WW2 were from a place in England, I believe called Finecast, that were die cast rim and hub, with wire to lace the spokes. They were included in kits from Etzel, Jorgenson, and a couple of others, but those kit mfgs are all gone now.
It would be nice if a model car aftermarket supplier could find and import those wheels for us, or else someone else manufacture wire wheel kits (even PE would be okay if laced type is too involved) for those of us who build old race cars and passenger cars of that era.
