Antony - suggest two possibilities : (a)Longbridge (yes, Longbridge) produced Left Hand drive versions of the mid-30s Ruby-type models for sale on the Continent, particularly France, with 16" or metric equivalent wheels : (b) Willys-Overland-Crossley in Germany assembled and sold Ruby-type cars with 16" or metric equivalent wheels. Not sure how well-balanced the assymetrical rims are but should be okay. Our "standard" 16" wheels are heavy and fall short of our unsprung weight ideals, but are particularly strong and thus safe when you're racing. Best of luck. Bill
