[DeTomaso] Fw: GTS Wheels

[Charles McCall]

Interesting, I didn't know that. So on the GT5, the lip is bent down and
riveted, while on the GTS, the lip is bent "up", and is therefore visible?

No, the GT5 flares are also riveted on, at least on my car. The rivets are
visible from the wheel well, but not from the outside though.

There's also a strip of what appears to be some rubbery glue between the
fender and flare.

I have seen GT5 conversions that have the flares molded on though.
