As I agree 100% here the thing that kills me is that on Ebay they sell the 120mm wheels as if they FIT the 4.75 car. I was surprized as hell since the world is 45% full of lawyers and lawsuits WHY!!! ???? would someone want to sell wheels that almost fit and could cause some serious life threatening situation. Thats the real question
