I have a bent wheel which is causing a vibration in the car, time to 
find a
new one.

front
one at 17 x 8

1) Does anybody know if these are still avialable and from whom?

2) If I can't find one, what about a service to fix what I have, anybody
used one?

>>>Those wheels were made by (or rather, made for) Hall Pantera.  They 
are Hall's half-hearted attempt at a Campagnolo clone.  They were not 
made by Boyd Coddington as your website suggests, at least not as far 
as I know.  I don't think they were very popular; I've only ever seen 
one other set besides yours.  Finding one lying around is a hopeless 
endeavor.  You might call Hall and see if they can get one made for 
you, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'd be seeking out wheel-straightening places.  Well, really, if it was 
me, I'd be seeking out a complete new set of wheels...either Wilkinson 
or Pantera East Campy clones.....but if budget is a concern, you should 
be able to get your bent wheel fixed.
