Yes yes Hills make a great clothes line  , my point being these wheels
wouldnt be made from Magnesium like the Porsche Gasburner ... I think these Brazilian wheels would be made from " the finest" of Brazilian
alloys  and would serve good use as a  boat anchor. 
 
Cannot find out any info of the PCD
