    Anyone know of a pair of 10x15 Minilites that may be available?

    I would like to use them on a 71S - ST project. All leads appreciated.

    Thank you

    Minilite 10x15

    OliveR,

    Thank you for the response. Yes, you are correct that E-H has some 9x15 minilite wheels. They look like a very nice pair.

    We know the 8x15 wheel for Porsche application has been reproduced and is available. I have also heard that reproduction 9x15 minilites are on the way soon. Can anyone confirm this?

    I would like to configure the rear flare on the ST project like the 1972 Kremer ST driven by Fitzpatrick: w-i-d-e. My thought is that the 10x15 minilite will fill out the wheel wells nicely for the "almost-RSR" effect that drew comment from the factory race department folks.

    I know there are quite a few of these sitting around out there and no one should be racing on 35 year old so-so quality magnesium castings with the modern sticky tires people are using, so give 'em up, please!

    OliveR, have you seen a pair of minilite 10x15s recently?

    Thanks to all for any help.

    Tom,
    I can not help you find the 10x15's but I do like the car you are building. Here are a few pics of the original, hope you enjoy.

    Bob;

    Thank you for posting the detail photos of the Kremer car driven by John Fitzpatrick.

    Of all the ST rear flare configurations, that car has the shape that looks best to me. I suppose the width of the ST flares grew in synch with tire technology - a trend that continued through the end of the 70s.

    Do you happen to have any more shots of:

    A. the interior (looks like a Recaro ST seat with smooth bolsters and waffle inserts) and
    B. the engine (suppose it is twin plug Marelli with high butterfly).

    Thanks again,

    Tom
