I retired my old Sonicare to the garage. PERFECT for that kind of stuff!

I believe Speedline made the stock wheels for the 288 and the F40 (and the
959, actually).

OZ Racing made the wheels for the F40LM. I had to put 18" OZ Racing
Magnesios on my car when I went to the bigger brakes.

I have an old set of modular wheels on my 911, made by OZ Racing.  I think
they did the rims for the 288 and F40 too ?
