Dunlop Wheels?

Hey all,
Does anybody know if wheels like these are being reproduced, still made, available anywhere, etc?

Made by Dunlop, some older Cobras used them as well as Jaguar, Lister and I'm sure a few others.
Anybody ever seen wheels like these for sale?

A pipe-dream mostly but someday, I'd like to replicate CSX2142. I love the look of original comp cars. It has the Dunlop wheels that have the little slots instead of holes but I see Realm sells both. I'm not sure of what widths though.

Larry speak to Gerry Hawkridge at www.hawkcars.co.uk
He builds both fiberglass and alloy bodied csx2142 replicas

I've seen the Hawk site. Nice car and accurate for sure. I really like to see cars that are true replicas of particular originals. The research and the build is where the real hobby is for me.

This would be a down-the-road project as I'm not done with my Hurricane yet. Guess it would progress a lot quicker if I got out there and worked on it instead of day dreaming!
Thanks for the info!

Larry,

I am with you, I love the look. I would like a CSX 8000 alum car with those wheels and a roll bar.
