Thanks Adrian;

an update: a former 2000 Spider owner who is has been in the wheel/tire business for years has pointed out to me the one drawback of the Dayton wheels: weight. With chrome steel rims and stainless wires the wheels are sure to be very heavy (I've asked Dayton for a weight...am waiting for a response).

As has been previously pointed out, Borranis are available but I've confirmed that the hub conversion+ wheels are approaching $10k. ( for 4 wheels)

The intermediate (price-wise) solution appears to be the Re-originals setup which includes new spline hubs and 5 wheels listed as "alloy wire wheels" , available in a 16 x 5 1/2 size.

I've requested more info and photos from them and will post when available.

David
