[V8] DTM wheel size

[Paul Jones]

Good luck in finding such a wheel. The only one I know of is the BBS RS236 
which is 17" x 8" and very difficult to find.

BMW has had many cars with the 3 piece mesh wheels installed. These mesh 
wheels are very easy to find on ebay, however, I don't know if any went as 
large as 9". Perhaps an adaptor could be made to convert the 5x120 of the 
BMW's to our 5x112.
