Wheel straightening or a replacement source

A friend has a 1959 Turner 950 Sports, which came with 15 x 4 inch steel
wheels that have a 4 inch, 4 bolt pattern and a 2 5/8 inch center opening. The wheels were originally made by Rubery-Owen in England, and were also used on very early Lotus Seven Mark 1's. In all the research I've done, I've been unable to determine what, if any, other vehicles that may have used this wheel.
Unfortunately - all four wheels are not straight. They appear to be round, but not 'square'.
Can anyone recommend a good wheel straightening shop in the Los Angeles are?
Does anyone know of another car that has this bolt pattern/wheel center and are 15 inches in diameter?
I do have a picture of the current wheel if that would help.
Thanks

You may want to call someone like Coker tire 1-800-251-6336. They don't stock the wheel but they would likely know who does if anyone still produces them. They deal only with vintage and collector vehicle tires.
