When it comes to old-school, eight-spoke wheels, what’s your preference? Something traditional from England like true Minilites, or do you rock something from Panasport or Watanabe?
Or, what about the related options like the Konig Rewind, Rota RB, Enkei Compe, Rotiform MLW and American Racing Silverstone? VTO Classic 8? Remember when Shelby offered an option?
So, which one is your go-to pick?

Halibrand. It has a history few wheels manufactures can match.
In reply to Appleseed :
Not all Halibrand wheels had Halibrand credit. Troutman and Barns had Halibrand cast up some magnesium Wheels for their Riverside specials. They were sold to Jim Hall and called Chaparrals.
Pin drive knock offs. Like Indy cars of the era.
As a JDM fan boy Watanabes all the way.

I've always liked the BBS Bugatti wheels that ape those (but only seven spokes .
of course the guy I sold this to promptly removed them for RSs.
I used to run American Racing magnesium (they also came in aluminum alloy) mags on my TVR.
Torqueflight Wheels from American Racing. Arguably the most popular wheel of all times and used on everything.

You're short about three spokes.
