I can strongly recommend the product from Iconic or Great Plains Audio.. I have a pair of the Iconic 165-8G (aka 515-8G at GPA) in my Onkens. Cost for these drivers when I purchased them was around $400 each exclusive of shipping, but this is in line with the cost of a good pair of vintage 515 or 416 on eBay, without any worries about their actual condition.

(Contrary to the statement on the Iconic site it has not been updated in over 3 yrs.)

Great Plains Audio site here: http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/

Last time I knew for sure Iconic was manufacturing drivers for Great Plains Audio, and I don't think this has changed, but I would contact Great Plains Audio to place the order. (I ordered mine through Iconic.)
Back when I placed my order Altec (Sparkomatic) and GPA had no understanding about using the Altec part numbers, this has apparently changed.
