Re: The Orange Cab -MD's New Racer

are these the BMW donuts or XR6?
do you have a source where i can buy these?
from looking at the picture these dounts are thiner than the alfa ones, so would need a spacer to work with the standard propshaft. but i assume u are using a propshaft with universal joints?
