I got rid of a set of wheels just like that, believe it or not, because all of the faux spoke work is too closely spaced to get a good hand hold for wheel changeovers.

The wheels in abscate' s photo (need better photo) look like the ones (17 x 7.5 Thors) that came on my car and are still on it. Sorry if I was wrong. As far as annunciation, I think "fatter"and "tires", would be more appropriate "brother".
I think he was poking fun at me, Glenn - all good.

Here is the picture - definitely Saurus weels - not in that inventory pdf but it is in Jims link to Volvo-wheels

Thanks Steve. My bro used to call those the "Edward Scissorhands wheels" because there was no good way to handle them.
