Cameron...

I had same trouble in Brissy....I wanted a reaonable priced 15"wheel that approximated the Cobra Mono Lita wheel.

Found a 14"in Autobarn I think it was...cant remember the brand but was a well known one.

Unfortunately...only 14""

Soooo..off to Don Pilling to buy a Mono Lita 15"...not a bad wheel but costs an arm and a leg....well..was mainly the hub what costs heaps.

However..I'm somewhat disappointed I paid so much for such a poor wheel. Dont get me wrong..it's the original thing but frankly, the quality sucks.

The 14" whateveritwas brand had 3 chrome cobra like spokes but with holes...not slots. It also had a beautifully finished..( gloss epoxy wood grain) rim which was a more comfortable thicker rim.

The MonoLita rim is a bit too thin for my liking.

The whateveritwas brand was heaps...and i mean heaps cheaper.

Only my inner thoughts mate...hope it is of some help.

Cheers
