Re: IML: Help!!!! on Wheels Please

["Dave" <Wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be very cautious of the Uni-Lug wheels. they have elongated lug 
holes, and use and ecentric-type of washer to match the pattern. I have seen 
these fail when I worked in a tyre shop. I personaly wouldn't use them, 
because of that. There are also wheel adapters that can change a bolt 
pattern, but again, not a good idea.
