Greetings all, On Saturday, VIN 6477 was moved from Queen Creek, AZ to my house in Mesa, AZ and Sunday I decided to remove the wheels and flat tires (NCT's in front) to get them stripped and powder coated and new Front: Yokohama AVID T4 and Rear: Yokohama AVID S/T tires. Since VIN 10365 is currently in hover-mode in my garage with powder coated wheels with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's, I figured that I can take the ones from 10365 and put them on 6477 while I get 6477's wheels and tires done. Easy, right??? Dilemma: With the wheel swap in process, and the passenger's side done, I notice as I get ready to work on the driver's side that the front wheel that I just removed from the passenger front, doesn't match the wheel that I am installing. So I look closer. The wheels from 10365 all match in terms of casting and they are powder coated in silver/chrome fleck. The wheels from 6477 DO NOT MATCH. (Please read: www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/wheels.html for reference.): Front Left: Style 3 - Light/Thick (2nd series casting) Front Right: Style 2 - Light/Thin (1st series casting) Rear Left: Style 1 - Dark/Thin (1st series casting) Rear Right: Style 3 - Light/Thick (2nd series casting) Keep in mind that the two different factory castings and two different factory colors yielded the following three factory options: Style 1 - Dark/Thin, Style 2 - Light/Thin, Style 3 - Light/Thick. Since most original wheels are in need of powder coating, original color is of little consequence and the chief concern is the casting - Thin (1st series) and Thick (2nd series). Since I have now have an odd set of original DeLorean wheels: 1 Front and 1 Rear THIN 1st series casting 1 Front and 1 Rear THICK 2nd series casting I am looking to trade with an owner or owners with a similar situation. I am not particular as to either THIN 1st series or THICK 2nd series castings, but I would like to have a complete set rather than mismatched. I know that I could just go with the mismatched set as most people would not notice or care, but I would know and it would bug me. Like leaving for work with a brown shoe on one foot and a black shoe on the other. If anyone knows anyone with a similar situation or perhaps two owners with one or more oddball wheels. Please let me know.
