What if everything the automotive industry believed about performance wheels in the 1960s was completely backwards?

In this video, we explore the incredible true story of Jim Rodriguez, a Ford mechanic who shocked the racing world in 1968 by making his humble Falcon outhandle expensive European sports cars using smaller "bicycle" wheels from a junkyard. His counterintuitive discovery about unsprung weight revolutionized understanding of suspension dynamics, predicted modern performance engineering by three decades, and proved that sometimes the "stupid" idea is actually genius. This forgotten piece of automotive history reveals how one mechanic's $80 modification exposed a fundamental truth that million-dollar supercars still use today.
