Default the "What style looks like what" post

I found this page, and thought it would be incredibly helpful in identifying what factory wheels are what (for those who dont know off hand)

Enjoy! (maybe even sticky?)

Quick question about that list. I've never seen some of those wheels, how hard is it to track down a style 58 or 38?

I've seen Style 38's for sale, but very rarely... As for Style 58's, I have never seen those being sold or on a car...

It depends on how many are available out there, really. Search bf.c and e-bay... I easily found a couple of 38's on e-bay.
