The rear wheels, (15 x 14) and later the matching fronts (15 x 10) were made by Dave Wallace through his Span Mags business in Onehunga as far as I can find. Red Dawson had a set also. This pic would have been later in '73 after the PDL sponsorship ended.

Ross, by chance do you have any colour photos of the Firebird when it was painted green?
