Anyone out there with a copy of the FIRST FF & R ?

As it says, has anyone got a copy of the very first issue of fast Fours and Rotaries...or know where i could see one.
There was a car featured in it....i think...it was a long time ago. It had an AE82 SECA that was white and i am trying to get a picture of the wheels that were on it again from memory they were Centra type 8s,they are a German wheel, usually seen on BMWs etc. They came in a 4 x 100 PCD i am trying to firstly get a picture of them and then try to hunt some down.
Paul Brell did the work on this car, it may have even been before BD4s started.
Any hint or suggestions ?
I have tried Ebay and there were plenty of centra wheels but not the type i was looking for.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

i have bit of a collection of ff&r and hot 4's mags that i started buying in 95 when i bought the feral (stopped buying the beloved V8 mags  ).
i have lost a lot though from moving and moisture problems.. 
maybe after the w/end i might be able to pull a few boxes out and have a looksee.

I just checked it out. The photos aren't very good for showing the wheels there's only two shot's and they are 3 quarter rear and 3 quarter front.
If you wanna hunt down some old wheels for your car check these suckers out. I suggest the top left set for that F40 look...
If you want larger views of these shots I can email them to you.

Hot 4's is a different publication to FF&R. though they probably get edited/printed in the same place?

Benjamin,
You are a FREAKING LEGEND !!!
Thanks for the pics, man this car brings back some memories, it was pretty much out there way back in 1988.
These wheels were originally diamond machine cut, really nice finish but the guy wanted them white so got them painted.
As you can see from the pics they really filled out the gaurds nicely and you dont see anything remotely like them any more.
The offset would be perfect for the AW11.
now all i have do do is find a set !!!!!!!
Thanks i really appreciate your help,
Scott

I know what you guys are saying it does look a little odd, but rember this in in 1988 !!!!
also the only extra bit of bodywork was a small front lip spoiler, the rest of it is as it came from Toyota with a bit of paint on it. these black lenses were all the rage then just like the clear lenses were about a year or so ago.
I still think it looks as good as anyother Seca i have seen other wise post some pics of some better ones !
anyway we are talking about the wheels not the car so anone have any ideas where to get some from ?

Even back then i didn't go for the tinted lights all that much, same with the clear tail lights. I know that for a fact cause i was a v8 bogan back then with eyes only for a supercharged 460 big block in a black falcon xb coupe Then i stopped dragging the knuckles cause i wanted a datsun 1600....
But anywhat, i think the car is also in a Hot4's mag that i've got floating around home here somewhere. I'll see if i can find it.

I thought it was an article on BD'4 them selves so i've been looking thought the contents pages of the hot 4's mag that i've got and the same with fast 4's but it came to nothing. I'm starting to think that it might have been just a two page ad.

i think this was prior the beginning of BD4s.
I got some work done on my AE82 back in 88 from Paul and it was all based from his house in the back of North Sydney
