I've never actually asked the owenrs there impressions but the fact that they still have them on the car much imply they are at least somewhat happpy otherwise they would switched back. I beleive one of the Deloreans for sale on ebay or one that maybe just closed was selling with these wheels as well as the OEM wheels as back-up.

Having 15/16's is a WORLD of difference over the stock 14/15's. Lower profile, wider tires makes the car feel and handle like it should. > I beleive one of the Deloreans for sale on ebay or one that > maybe just closed was selling with these wheels as well as the > OEM wheels as back-up. I don't believe William sells wheels anymore. I bought the ones you see on his car in the ad when he was selling his car. My car is still available for sale, perhaps its my car you are referring to. http://www.stup.net/delorean ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 14:54:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Re: CUSTOM RIMS It is interesting to note that one of the largest and most respected aftermarket rim manufacturers (Enkei) says if you need "spacers/adapters" for a particular wheel to fit your car, don't buy that wheel, even if it is theirs! I realize that part of the reason for such a disclaimer is to cover their a-- in the event of a failure and subsequent lawsuit, but I also believe that it is a word of advice that one should consider seriously before going the aftermarket rim route. Just my 2¢. Dick Ryan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The rear latch has released and the door has cleared the striker pin. However, the front latch has no released. I have taken the interior apart and tried to manually release the latch, but no success. I have taken the lower side trim off and tried to open the latch from underneath, but that didn't work either. I am puzzled as to what to do now? I do not know how to open the door, other than to break the latch and buy a new one. Any ideas?

Actually its a good thing too because one of the wires was turning brown on one end. The only problems I had were that I couldn't find the new relay female crimp terminals for the two short jumpers you need to make and finding the additional five pin relay to go in the fan fail module socket. I ended up sabotaging the hot start relay socket terminals and after going to three different auto parts stores finally found a five pin relay. My suggestion to anyone thinking of attempting this modification is to get the parts from Darryl or one of the other DeLorean suppliers FIRST. I am very happy with the change and feel a lot more comfortable having the two relays in there instead of that damn jumper thing.

The million dollar question is how to remove it? I've been messing around with it for a few hours and have had no luck. Can you cut it off with a torch or some how drill it out? If anybody has a idea I would appreciate it very much.
