[DeTomaso] more on rear tire width

Wed Aug 25 12:30:27 EDT 2010

OK, getting it narrowed down

If I were to get Campy clones and have them powder coated, which brand from
which vendor, obviously I don't care about how finely polished they are, I
concerned with built quality, al alloy used, strength.

Next is the size selection, all 17"'s as I have now ( Hall Ultra 2)

16" x 8 Front and 17 x 11" rear

17 x 8' front and 18 x 11" rear

or I have seen now

18 x 8 front and a 19 x ? rear ( not campys )

I am also going to fix up a set of show stock campys ( 8" all around ) tires
sizes to be determined ( although I'm leaning towards 295/50/15 in the rear
, front TBD )

I have brand new Kumho E' in 245/40/17 and 315/35/17 if needed or I might
use the rears and sell the fronts.

Open to suggestions, I have also considered having my existing Hall Ultra 2
wheels powdercoated, everything but the spinner ) but hesitate since Mike
Drew says these may be
one of two known full sets, might be beeter to just keep them for use later
or sell them )
