Any Help Appreciated on Simplex Spitfire Restoration

#1
Hello everyone. I am new to the group, and this is actually for a friend. She is restoring her husband's Simplex Spitfire Mini for his upcoming birthday in March. Here are a couple pictures of the current state of it.

A few of the parts were sent out long ago in failed attempts at getting things fixed, and have since been lost. So, currently the build is missing an engine, rear wheel, rear sprocket, tires, and rear brakes. You can see the front wheel is there, but in very poor condition. She would really like to get a set of chromed wheels for it if possible, and return this to as close to factory as possible.

I've done a little digging around the net on wheels, and I was told to come here.

I'm borrowing this picture from the internet (my apologies to anyone if it is yours and you do not want me to use it, but blame Google images).

This is almost exactly the way she wants it to look, except this one is a dual chain, and hers is a chain/belt combo.

Thanks in advance for any help!
