Default recommended Panasport source(s)?

I just discovered that K-Speed has recently gone out of business so I thought I would ask the racers here first:

What's a good / trusted / competitively priced source for Panasport wheels?

The application is a set of 15x7 track/autox wheels for my roomie's E30... we don't necessarily need to find a place with a set in stock, just a good source that can get them in a reasonable timeframe if necessary. I did a few searches and couldn't find enough satisfactory answers to this.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Jon

I got my first set from Paul Spruell Alfa. Not sure of their phone #, but they advertise in the back of SportsCar and GRM, and they have a web site somewhere. A quick Yahoo search should turn them up.

Thanks to both of you for the recommendations!

Pat, that pic has always killed me. They look so good on a black SE-R

Not to mention the duct-tape-free front lip.

I would also recommend Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD, especially if you're local to DC.

For contact info, see the most impressive website on the planet .

Their pricing on 14x7 (38mm offset) was about $10/corner less than K-Speed last summer so I would assume that pricing on other sizes is respectable as well...and they support the local race community.

Gregg: Do they do mail orders or ship wheels?

Not sure...I usually just drive over there. Give 'em a hollar. Be sure to tell 'em you're a racer (it matters).
