| Subject: | THE NEW 12.5"x18" CAMPY-STYLE WHEEL FOR STOCK BODIED CARS - MARIN |
| Date: | Thu, 5 Apr 2001 13:41:23 -0400 |
Here's some breaking vendor news. . .Marino Perna's new 18" rear (Campy
style) wheels will soon be available. The amazing thing about these mega
wide 12.5" inch wide wheels is that they FIT THE "STOCK" REAR WHEEL WELLS
with no modifications and no spacers. . .and they fit the new 345/35/18 (27"
tall) Michelin Pilot Sports tires and with the shorter 16 or 17" rubber you
will have tire diameters close to original! :-)
Stay tuned for prices and availability.
