Author Message   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, July 15, 2006 - 03:48 pm:        I have a chance to get a set of Marchesini wheels for my 98 S1W and it's a good deal...but the rear is a 16.5", not 17". I know I can get race tires in that size, anyone have a source for street tires for that wheel? I hate to pass up the wheels, but....if I can't put shoes on 'em they don't do much good, eh?   Rocketman Posted on Saturday, July 15, 2006 - 04:54 pm:        I've never heard of a 16.5 rear? Avon might be the people to ask. They are the manufacturer of choice for custom builders because they specialise in small runs of odd, or not so frequently used tyres.
