Re: [DML] That time of year again (storage)

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not to start a run on them, but with all the cars being parted out 
there are a ton of leftover DMC mini-spares available. Many of them 
have a hard time holding air, which may not really be a big deal for 
this application. 

Most older 4-bolt Japanese cars use the same bolt circle dimension as 
the DMC but a smaller center hole. You could aquire some cheap Honda 
wheels and grind the center hole out larger. Just don't drive on 
them. 

(Just for fun I mounted my DMC wheels on my Integra a few years back -
 they fit fine other than fender clearance in the back. Since the DMC 
center hole is larger it would not have been safe to drive it 
however).
