E36 M3 track wheels ... to summarise.

	Thanks to everyone that responded, I finally decided to
	go with a set of BMW 7.5"x17" forged alloys with 
	235/45ZR17's all round. This tire is approx 0.9" larger
	in diameter but that's no big deal on a track wheel.
	I did hope to get the new Yokohama A032R's in 235/40ZR17 
	but apparently they wont be available for some time according
	to the Tire Rack.

	To summarise people's responses to me, everyone pretty much 
	thought that hanging a '96 set of wheels & tires on a 95
	would require a significant amount of tweaking to tune out
	the effects of the new wheel/tire combination. Since I
	didnt feel competent enough to do this the decision was a
	no brainer!

	I also went for the 7.5" wheel all round to better
	facilitate tire rotation .... no that kind of rotation
	silly! 
	
	8^)

	Thanks again to everyone for their sounds advice ....

	See you at the track!

	- Larry.

	P.S

	If anyone has experience of the A032R's vs the R1's can
	they let me know of their experiences?
