Western Wheels. ??????

As anyone heard of a company called Western Wheels.. I saw a custome C3 that had wheels that are very similar to the 82 Collectores Edition, but they were knoff offs. The owner told me that he purchased them from Western Wheels, but I have not been able to locate them. Any help will be appreciated.

Eckler's used to sell a reproduction of the original factory knock-offs, however they were 15"x8", to fit the C-3s. I'm fairly certain that they were made by Western, and probably what you're looking for.
They haven't listed them in their catalogs for several years, but you might want to try there first. If they no longer stock them, they might be able to send you in the right direction.

I believe Kelsey-Hayes bought Western, and in turn Kelsy-Hayes was bought out by another auto parts supplier, but I can't remember who. It's tough to keep track of all the consolodation in the auto parts industry.
