Nope, I am familiar with the series and this was not one of them. This car
was sporting TSWs that were OZ Superturismo knock offs, and a Super Touring
style airdam like those found only in that series. The Vento series cars do
not sport this style airdam.

I don't know about the brakes, but I presume the wheels are the Speedline
Vento that is sold through Discount Tire Direct. Check out EC for their ad.
The rims I would really like to find are the Speedline rims used on the VW
GTI and SEAT Ibiza rally cars. They are basically the model from the
'93-'94 Corrado SLC but bigger and fatter. If you can find them let me
know.-G
