Source for knock-off for spoke wheel?

Hi there:

had my W109 tow to the shop recently and neither the tow truck driver nor I had thought about the consequences of towing a car backwards with knock-off rims at high speed

The tow truck driver found the wheel later on in the ditch but couldn't locate the knock-off itself. Does anyone have any idea where to go look for a replacement?



Thanks, Harry.

i would try the mfgr of the wheel first.

then i would try dayton wire wheels in dayton oh. if anyone has one they might.

i wouldnt be surprised if the wheel is a dayton.

i once lost a wheel from my avion trailer (dont ask why). while driving maybe 40. never could find it and three of us looked quite a while.

there was a set of three on ebay a few months back. I was most annoyed that they sold for 11$ to somebody else 'cause I wasn't around to bid. -cth
