Not a bad looking wheel... I wonder if there are rights and lefts? I will peek at those when I go to America's Tire.
Oh, a man who understands visual wheel theory. First rule: The blades must face the same direction on both sides of the car.

I have been surfing for wheels, but the results get reduced when I look for 14 by less than 6". I think the last set I got was 14x5.5.

Aww :( So since the Drift Dynamics i2 wheels are 15x6.5, they're out, huh? :(
But they're so PRETTY, darn it! :'(
They work out to only $82 per wheel, too.

Yea, those look pretty slick. I would have to run 185x50 tires on those 15 inch rims... It digs into my subtle styling theme a bit. Not that I don't like them.

:dunno
I don't think they'd be too flashy, but that's just me.

I think when she's ready to pull the "Mrs. Geo Glenn" out of her member profile it should be changed to Google Master!! :P

I have to admit, despite all the years and dedication I have put into the Mouse, for the right price I would trade it in on this in a heartbeat. It is that gorgeous. Finding somewhere to charge it on the way home might be a problem though...

One of the headlight "buckets" was pretty messed up, so I went to PnP to round up another. Naturally, since I need it now, there were no bucket head light type metros. Anyway, I just grabbed a round of composites that showed some potential. You can see in the photo that they polish out pretty nice, but they do have a slight milky tint to them.

They are a little different than the ones that I have on Tevie1.. You can't see through the pattern on these as much as you can on this ride. You can see on Tevie1 that there are only a few horizontal lines for the pattern.

I picked up all the glass today... here is a shot of the windshield in place, along with the cowl and the moldings that go along the side of the windshield and into the roof. Those moldings are actually new to this car since the ones that I took off had too many cracks to look right. I got these roof moldings from Pick n Pull today along with the new headlights. The Napa "trim black" does wonders to these moldings.

I saw a lot of wheel talk. Just going to throw out my personal experience. I like TireRack.com. Just try and find some deals on rims. They ususally have some that they aren't going to stock. I picked up 4 at $40 a piece. 15" brand new rims. Can't complain :rocker

Also, they happen to have decent deals on tires sometimes. :news

I was looking... they don't have much in the 13/14" rim size. Wanna fit 15s in there?
