Ironically, I was just looking at those results. I had to miss the event
due to tow-vehicle problems (since repaired) - but had I been there,
there would have been _three_ six swilinder big TR's, as another peron in
the division showed up with a TR250... but I digress.
Hmmm, that explains it... were the FP cars in the same run group as the
EP cars???

15 x 5.5 inch. The bolt parrtern is 4 on 4.5 inch circle. Zero offset.

Just for yucks, you might try looking at a set of Diamond wheels, they're
steel, but not rediculously heavy and rather cheap at $50 or $60 each. I
think this is what FOTer Dean van de Carr is using.

Oh yeah!
rml
p.s. my plan is to mount a set of some sort of rain tire on a set of
spare mags that I have... need some money for the tires, though. Maybe
next year.
p.p.s. I'd be interested in knowing what folks on the list are using for
rains...
