<VV> 14" steel wheels for EM??

[BBRT]

Check out Speedway Motors. They have several catalogs, one specifically for 
hot rods. There are wheels available that have a small dog dish hub cap, but 
I don't know what they came off of. If not at Speedway, look for old schoool 
hot rod wheels - that tye of thing.
