I love you guys...
I'm really laughing at the Brady stuff!!! Oh Crap! Help me!!
Unfortunately for me, my brain hangs onto TV show music and theme songs, and I can literally hear the EXACT tune that would be playing after such a Mike Brady lecture... ugh.
Make that "I hate you guys..."

Thank you Greg. my exact word was "imagination" I feel creativity is a bit harsh as I feel we are all creative in our own way where-as if there are many wheels out there that would fit on our cars and I still saw that only "4 types" were still being used I would say that is a lack of "imagining" what your car could look like with other options.
Curious what these 4 types of wheels are?

My guess is
8 spoke
4 spoke
Mesh
Slot
What's yours?

Lay a straight edge across the face of the drum. Measure to the spring and the outer wheel well.
Average (safe) Datsun Roadster backspace, (to the spring) is 4.75†(4.9†will touch).

I've always been the type that doesn't want to follow the norm or do what everyone else is doing, that is why I started this thread and I am finding out that I'm leaning towards there now being many options out there that fit our cars.
What do you want or need help with?
Alvin maybe you need to re-read the original thread post or the previous post before yours
