Subject:Re: Rear wheel locks for 15" Alloys
From:80 Westy Pokey

SA Alloys go for $219 w/ centre cap. 215/65-15 Agilis 51's
are at least another $100, plus balancing etc. Times five
wheels (spare will be on a Gary Lee ladder out back) you are
easily over $1,600 US. We are not all rich enough to risk
replacing all that... then again we are not all rich enough
to afford a 86 syncro westy tiico...

Thanks,
Chris
