Go to the link at the end of this about the construction of my lakester.  Then go to the page that talks about wheels and tires.  There (or on the page that tells you where I got my parts) you will find a link to March Racing Wheels.  Give them a call and they will probably be able to help you.  They are good people with very resonable prices.

Tell them I sent you,

5-1/2" x 18" outers are available from millertire.com you will need some one to do the centers for you. good luck.  Remember with what ever you recieve please take the time to true the wheel to as "perfect" as you can get prior to mounting any tire to it.
