I saw those wheels also. Fredric and Jonas from Sweden were trying to
contact the owner of those 5-bolt Soccerball wheels, they wanted to buy
them. I don't know if they bought them or not. They wanted them for a
Sonett. They stated that Sonetts were only sold in Sweden in 1969 and 1972,
mostly with steel wheels. They said all the other Sonett cars came to
America, mostly with wheels other than steel wheels.

I didn't see that particular set, but I sold a set of 4 JP alloys ( the ones
that are commonly confused with Cromodora brand wheels) on Thursday there
with center caps and the correct shorter (than soccerball) lugs. I sold them
to another parts vendor- Fred Baker from Transportation Emporium (
www.TransportationEmporium.com) in Reading, Pa. (610) 207-2585
I won't say what I sold them for until you let me know what he is asking for
them...;) About three years ago, I sold him my 1957 VW Type 2 panel van
roller that I owned since the seventies, and he flipped it at Carlisle,
also. I know he sold that for a lot more than I sold it to him for! Wonder
if he ever got rid of the '69 Saab 99 bumpers and n.o.s. bumper overriders
that I sold him last year? I was glad to get rid of those after lugging
them back and forth for a few years.

Yes, I sure saw those. Surprised no one is doing "Cromodora" repops they are
so nice. Ron

All:
I was unable to attend Carlisle, but did admire Thor's photos. There was one
photo showing 2 sets of Sonett wheels on the ground - presumably for sale.
Thor does not know the seller, so I am asking the group for help. Anyone
know who it was who was selling these wheels, how much was being asked, and
whether they were sold? I'd like to get in touch with the chap. (JPG
attached).
Thanks for any leads.
