[DML] Re: Wheels (was Questions???)

[Matthew Lach <mlach@xxxx>]

Hi list..

A thought I had on this subject, was to maybe replace the current wheels, with
similar wheels, but for lower profile tires..

This would provide a solution to the problem of finding tires that fit the D.

I don't know if this also would affect the fine balance engineering.. Any
thoughts on this?

Another problem would be getting wheels that maintain the original look 81'
wheel design, in order to maintain the look of the car as much as possible.
They would probably have to be custom made (expensive)

Just my two cents,
Matt
