That's because they were only ever used on the early pushmobile prototype,
and the very first few cars that were used in crash testing, etc. They
were never offered on the production cars, and certainly not in the 80s. It
can be seen on the original press release photos, early magazine articles
etc. I'll send you a great photo.
There is a guy in Michigan who has a single three-slot wheel that he's been
trying to sell on E-bay for years; he wants an arm and a leg for it.
