Re: What size were those V8/200t aero wheels?

[Wallace White <wallace@remdesign.com>]

To try to clear things up, here's a picture of a V8 with the wheels I'm
talking about, at:

That's from the 1990 V8 file at IntelliChoice; all other years show the
basketweave wheels, FWIW. I couldn't find any images of a 200t with that
style of wheel, but I know they exist, because I saw one today and
stopped to look at it. I don't know if they're the same width as the V8
ones, but their appearance is the same.
