Has anybody seen that picture (somewhere on the net) of an 88 Anniversary with Gen 3 rims? If you have let me know if you know the guys e-mail address, the thing looked sweet!

So you've seen it too? The article said he had to use spacers to get them to work, but who cares, do you remember where you saw it?

I never saw that car, but I've seen quite a few FC's with FD wheels. Here's what you need to know to do it:

Do you think it takes away from the originality of the 10th Anniversary if I change the rims?, or anything for that matter? Maybe I should just sell it and buy a Gen 3.
