I have some Panasports I might be willing to sell, although I seem to remember they were a bit wider than 6".  7 or 8 (or a combination of both).  Unfortunately, I won't be home to check until the middle of the month.  Do you have a max-budget in mind?

Isn't the spitfire like 4*97.2 or something like that? I thought it was unique.

These are for a vintage race car, so 6" max width.

Stock TR7/8 alloys are 13X5.5 and can handle 205 race tires no problem.  Offset is +23.  You can pick them up for $250 a set, sometimes cheaper.

I always thought that the TR7/8 wheels 4x4.5" bolt circle? I'll have to begin looking for them instead as they should be a bit easier to find. Thanks.

Happen to know the weight on one of those? I have heard they are pretty hefty but never owned a set myself to check.

They are pretty light because they are only 13".  Bolt pattern is 4X95.25, same as Spitfire, GT6, early Lotus, MGF, some Formula Fords, and most recently early Ariel Atoms.  Recently picked up a set of used cheap MGF 15X6 wheels down near Philly.  Seller got them off UK Ebay and had them shipped.  He decided not to use them, so I picked them up for $225 and a 140 speedo.  The center bore may need to be opened up.  Pretty sure the TR7 is 54.1 and the Spit is slightly bigger.
