Default Spoon SW388 problem and replacement issue

hi to all,

been tracking the AP1 for quite a few years nos and my 5(?) year old spoon SW388s have put up with a lot of abuse, first on Pilot Sport Cups then on Yoko 032R and now on Toyo R888s

BUT discovered the other day that one of the "spokes" of the right hand front wheel is cracked clean through all the way across !

and now I discover that Spoon no longer sell wheels !

repairing the wheel is apparently not an option, finding a single SW388 16x7 +45 5H.114.3 seems a little .... tricky

no one got a poor lonely Sppon looking for a good home ?
(but i'll take two if necessary..)

otherwise anybody have any great ideas on alternatives ??

will Rota slipstreams put up with track use ?

if I go the whole hog and change all 4, who still makes 16" AP1 lightweight wheels ?(and no I don't want to switch to 17")

good link, problem is they don't do 16x8, pretty much rules them out for the back wheels, right ?
