[alfa] GTA alloy rims + TZ rims

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Willie R. mentions the GTA alloy wheels at www.highwoodalfa.com. I 
gather he is referring to the 14" cast rims with round holes.

By chance I'd just sent an email to Chris at Highwood asking about, 
among other things, the 15" x 5.5"  "Techno Magnesia" cast wheels with 
rounded rectangular holes. I'm sure he sighed but sent me to his site 
and told me to go to wheels - though they're also shown on the Home page.

I emailed him that when I clicked on the photo to enlarge, the URL could 
not be found. Also asked him a few additional questions. My questions 
are not in quotes, his are:

How much would shipping be to 91706 (So. Cal.)? "Around #100.00 I think."

How much do they weigh each? What is their offset? "I'll let you know 
later, I keep the wheels somewhere else so I can't check straight away."

Also, talked to a friend after I emailed you and he referred to them as 
"Techno Magnesia" (I'm sure the spelling is way off) wheels. Do both 
companies have versions of the same wheels?

"Techno Magnesia used to make these wheels, but not any more.  I believe 
they went bust a few years ago so I doubt anyone has any of their wheels 
left on the shelf."

I personally think these wheels are outstanding. Not inexpensive - 550 
pounds + shipping of course - but am considering them for my '69 Spider 
as I'd like very much to be able to move up to 15" wheels though dread 
the changing of studs.

He since emailed me the "enlargement" for the wheel now works.
