Bugeye wheels

I am getting close to needing some wheels for my bugeye (which is still in the bodyshop). I have 4 wheels, but 3 of them are the non-ventilated type (no holes). Anybody out there have 3 ventilated wheels they're willing to part with. There were several types of ventilated wheel. The one I have and would like to match is the latest and strongest version. I have attached a picture.

There were three types of BE wheels: First type used rivets to hold the center section to the rim; second was like Keith's picture but the ventilation holes were in line with the two brake adjust holes; the third was like Keith's. Ventilated wheels were replaced with solid wheels during the Sprite Mk11 and Midget Mk1 run.
Make sure you check for rim run out.....many are wonky. About half of mine the rim was out of alignment. Scott in CA
