    Ditto. The base wheels are unique and I just like the design better. Now many cars and aftermarket suppliers have wheels of the split-Y design, so the FGT optional wheels are not unusual anymore.

    Replacement Splitter Struts - Adjustable

    Ed: you most probably scraped the shit off your arms and hands on the power steering cooler. I did that, until I loosened the PS cooler mounts and moved it down and back, and wrapped a rag around it. Wear a long sleeve shirt and don't wear a watch. You can reach up in there with a 1/4"...
