	For those who care, I own a Commemorative Design Coupe GT and am
currently running the stock Alpine White 14" Ronal R8 wheels. Two are in
need of a wheel doctor, so I am presently, and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN tepidly
inquiring about a set of Alpine White(not necessary) 15" R8 wheels in
the fitment specs required for my Coupe, which are: 4 x 108 bolt pattern
and a 45mm offset. I am not sure that the 15" Ronals deem a 45mm offset,
they might utilize another, but whatever it takes. I know they are out
there, just EXTREMELY rare.......
