[TPR] [DeTomaso] tires and wheels

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

I'm not sure about offsets either but Crager sells or used to sell steel 17x8 or 
17x9"wheels....check Summit availability. Dick Drenske had/has a good friend at 
American Racing wheels who made it clear he thought they were too heavy for 
competition.

"NASCAR cheap steel wheels" are not available in 17 inch sizes. No 15" tires 
with appropriate speed rating are available (for a number of years now).  This 
has been my experience.
