[TPR] [DeTomaso] tires and wheels

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

And Bud could probably run those steel wheels again....at least until you asked 
Eric about what he thought of the Crager steel wheels! You dumb ass! HAHAAHA

Yea, you will get lots of 
yea-they-are-good-/bad/okay/maybe/well/why-are-you-asking-me-I-am 
TIRE-TECH.....ideas from Eric which is why I don't ask him much. Our discussion 
at Tech is usually about his Mustang or who he is dating. ;-)

I know you  and others are trying to save money here but as I said before talk 
to Steve Hawkinson, John Taphorn and others who did all the research and had 
alloy wheels made up...yea they aren't cheap but they have the correct offsets 
and are hubcentric etc.

I emailed Eric last year about Crager steel wheels, he didn't seem to  
think it would be a good idea and said I should buy my wheels from a  
Pantera Vendor.  Something about not being hub-centric, but then  
again, Bud ran steel wheels last year without a problem, including  
passing tech.  I honestly thought Cragers were going to be my answer.
