Ian,
Unfortunately it's 'have been' been made. An owner made a few sets of repro wheels, widened with offset, tyre retaining beads, in modern alloy and with matching conical nuts. I bought a set and a few other sets got out there but I'm not aware of any left or available now. I've heard he's a bit hacked off, he no longer has a Speedex or wheels but still gets rung up about the wheels - that he couldn't sell when he made them.
Original Speedex wheels are still quite common, they regularly come up for sale. There's three for sale on the Speedex 'for sale' page at the moment. If you're after a set ask about the special nuts that go with them and often get lost. I can help with a drawing of them to get new ones made.
Have you got a Speedex?
Dave

No, Unfortunately I dont have a speedex, I am just being curious really, I have always been interested in old/unusual speed equipment, I had loads before I split with the missus, now I have none
