Dunlop in England made those wheels and as you know they require a tube and the lug nuts are impossible to find. I would search some British Car forums in B.C.  as the guys that can repair those wheels may be able to repair yours.

Thanks Robert
Turns out wheel service and spoke purchases can be gotten from Buchanan in California, I was hoping for a CDN supplier, and have tried the British car community to no avail
At least nice to know where to get parts or service
Would still like to find an extra rim as a spare

I have 2 of those wheels, best described as needing restoration $75 ea plus shipping. I could arrange to get them to Seattle, Vashion island for $20.

Hello, quick note for now, more later if need be ... but I own a full set of four of these Dunlop '79/'79 Seville wheels with center caps.

The wheels happen to have over $580 worth of custom made, super high quality & highly polished Stainless Steel replacement spokes made by the Buchanan guys. The wheels are NOT in some horrid condition and I actually have over $1,500 into them all told. I will not be running them and was planning on listing them on ebay this summer but saw the post.

Although I'm gonna take a huge $ hit, ATP, just want to move them out of the basement and get them to a good home. Am willing to take $300-400 as a bottom for everything (not including any type of shipping of course) You'd have a full set to mix in with your wheels for price of what some guys want for just one or two, and thats w/o condition let alone the custom made spokes. It will be a hell of a deal for whoever gets them. 

Pictures and more details can follow if need be. Let me know if any interest and we can communicate here, PM or email further.

Thanks!  Mark Allen
