HAHAHA!!!   If you say so.

I would argue that it was a craven commercial venture, and the non-Tjaarda 
wheels were on the car solely because they were manufactured by the company that 
was selling the car.   I don't know if Tom actually designed the wheels for 
that company or not.   There's no mention of Tom's participation in the wheel 
design on their website.
