Thanks for the suggestion on the Performance Superlites. I have spoken to
Performance engineering recently. Performance can make them to order in two
weeks. They cost about $195 each depending on which tyre chain you deal
through. Performance reckon a 15 inch dia 6 inch width will fit on a 1600,
but fouls on a 240 Z strut.
I like Superlites, as you can gather, but the original Minilites are lighter
and stronger and I think look a little more purposeful than glossy.
