[DeTomaso] 17 inch steel wheels

[Mark McWhinney]

I was thinking that too, but their numbers are not too bad.

I would guess that the bigger problem would be the weight distribution in
the bigger wheel.  The farther the weight is from the center, the harder it
is to spin them up or slow them down.

Chuck, its just as well. I don't think you'd want a steel wheel is that 
size, very very heavy!!
