[T3] wheel advice

[Keith Park]

HI, 
I looked at my stash, unfortunately it looks like the only T3 rims I have
are the early ones that are still on the back of the Crate. I have 2 of
them, but they wont be available for a couple months when I get the
smoothies painted up, tires on them and on the car.  I have a couple hubcaps
too, but the chrome on them is bad.
