<VV> Fwd: [FC] 17" or 18" wheels on an FC

Scotty,
 
I too remember the 15" and 16" wheels from my early days, but disk brakes  
were around back then too.  I'm guessing you are correct that the smaller  
wheel sizes from the "long and low" styling period made the adaptation and  
modification of disk brake technology for automotive use more desirable.

Then  wheel sizes were reduced to 14", then 13"  
requiring the development  of disc brakes because the drums became too 
small for  
effective  braking.
