Midland wheel supplies might be able to help you. They are pretty helpful.

Just a bit of info: I think your wheels are Midland 'Metallics' there appear to have been a few slightly different styles...yours look like they are prabably MkIIIs. At least now you know the name of the wheel you can't get!  |

well i emailed Midland wheel supplies with a photo and aparently they have been discontinued so I'm relying on turning some up second hand. i have been tempted by some 13x6 superlights, they are a very reasonable £300 but that would leave me with £45 to live on untill january when i get my next student loan! looks like I'm gonna be hungry then!
