[s-cars] How about some wheels?

[Nick Stuart]

Ah, I got ya now, makes sense then. The problem is that I've got a set
of new 225 16 all seasons that I would obviously like to keep, and
want a second set for AutoX that will keep me stock, hence the need
for 16's. I'll take a look at rules for our club more closely to see
exactly whats allowed, but I think I need to keep the same diameter
rim.

 Now if I had to get new regular tires, it wouldn't really be a
question, and I would use my stock rims for racing and order up some
new rims with out a problem.
