[Healeys] BJ8 - new wheels & tires - ready to go....

[Robert Blair]

Peter,

Martin is at martingf at aol.com - 516-978-6161 - on the east coast.

I do not think he offers mounting etc - but I may be wrong.  Due to the
distance I got my tires from BWW and had them fitted and balanced by a local
tire chain store.
