Re: wheels

["John Dore" <dmcjohn@xxxx>]

Hey James,
I get the feeling you are misunderstanding me slightly. I'm not 
talking about getting a set of wheels to fit the car and to match, I 
want wheels custom built, that will look exactly like the originals, 
but be bigger...
So, I'm not looking at buying any wheels that actually exist yet!

Thanks,
John
