[TPR] tires and wheels

[Asa Jay Laughton]

If TPR doesn't get them to Peter, I'll take them (though I may have to 
wait another month to have the right amount of funding).

So, Peter has first shot, I have second.  Those would look sooo good 
with the eventual gun-metal gray paint I plan to put on the car... 
sometime... in the future... if I'm still alive.   :)
