Yeah I agree these wheels are too unlike the originals.

They are split rims which use off-the-shelf rims. To me they scream of being something else that's been modified, and if I'm wrong, why on earth haven't they got the correct number of spokes, and why don't the orignial centre caps fit, why don't the spokes have that "notch" in the centre?!

We have an ongoing wheel-related project on the move at the moment, which took a very promising turn last week... (pun intended)

I think it makes it look like a *drug dealer's* car, like the ones with air suspension so they jump up and down. Reg Pierce Chassis as well.

Some mornings I watch "Wrecks to Riches USA" on discovery Turbo and they also b@stardise the wheels on their cars. Looks like they got their hands on this poor Delorean.
Or perhaps there's a line of Chav's queuing up to buy DMC12's that we are unaware of?

I never wrote *drug dealers*, I wrote *drug dealers*. saying Chav is just as bad as saying *drug dealers*, it's discriminating against all Canvey Islanders!!!
