[DeTomaso] Bassett Wheel questions for GT5

[jderyke at aol.com]

 Bassets are steel stock-car racing wheels. As such, they take wheel lug-nuts cut at a 45 degree angle. Street wheels including Campys use lug nuts cut at 60 degrees. Mixing these up has caused wheels to loosen while driving, and the resulting damage can negate any savings from using cheap wheels. Steel wheels do have thinner centers so if you don't already have the longer stock GR-4/5 wheel studs, you may not need them. Good luck- J Deryke
