Minilite and Panasport are two different companies. In either case, Google is your friend:

I'll bet you can probably get them through whoever your local tire store is. I tried to buy mine direct but couldn't. I went through my local tire store, Les Schwab, and was able to get a set of 15's in Panasport for (I can't remember and it pains me to look at receipts) 600-800 bucks. Be sure to specify if you want the fully painted or polished lips though. I wanted the polished lips and ended up with the fully painted ones. They grew on me and I'm glad that I got the fully painted now. I'm guessing that some of the big boys like Tire Rack will be able to source them if you can't find something local. And finally, if you contact them direct, they should be able to set you up with a semi-local distributor..... http://www.midatlanticmotorsport.com/panasport.htm

I agree
We need to help him stay in business, so what if he makes a few dollars, at least you know hes going to be there. I wonder how old he is or if he has a youngster to take over???
My Father, my Brother, and I have been getting parts from him as long as I can remember.
Why not buy them from Rick at Sunbeam Specialties lets give him the biz he supports us

Keep in mind that all three of the varieties, the Panasport, Minilite and Minatuar all look a little different.
Minilite is the original. Panasports are the lightest. Minituar (sp?) are sold by Victoria British.
After going to the Dayton invasion and seeing all three wheels I decided to buy the Panasports. Mine weigh less than 10 pounds each in 14x6 size. I bought them from Spruell motorsports out of Atlanta. They are an alfa race shop and the alfas conveniently run the same offset and bolt pattern we do. I think I payed 148 each with the polished lip + 8 dollars shipping.
Don't buy your lugnuts from them, though, as they are metric (guess who bought new studs after trying that out )

Andrew: I knew some Alfas had the same bolt pattern, but this is the first time I have heard the offset was the same. Which Alfa model models used these wheels?
p.s. Welcome back. Hope the school year went well.
