on the 15 hole wheels have been done away with because they do snap and 
represent a safety issue too.
   
   
   
  They certainly do !, about three years ago Chas Wells ended up using a stone cutting chopsaw to cut a wheel to pieces while it was still mounted on my car before he could remove the bolt that had broken just above the rounded piece that beds into the wheel, lucky for me Chas turned out to be quite a dab hand with a chopsaw and no damage was done ( aside from getting my wheel back in three pieces :-)
   
  All the best, John Poole `91 560 SEC
