I'm looking forward to getting my car painted this summer, probably a high gloss black. I like the shiny look and it's tougher to get with the dark red I have also a little bit neglected body wise so I'll get the body done. But...To the point...I don't think the dopey plastic wheels(1995 GL) will look to sharp with my new look. I'll probably keep 'em for winter but I'd like to get reccomendations on some wheels for this summer. Again I don't want to get something big that will mess up my gauges, but some nice wheels that will look great if I keep 'em clean. Cost is a little bit of an issue for me but pitch me some suggestions.

Thank Yous in advance smile

Probably could pick up a set of used E0 or E1 wheels in the classifieds.

get some 17's from the tire rack, and 215/45-17 rubber, according to the tire calculator it will only throw the speedo off by 0.3%

I'll look into the E0 and E1's, but i'm in atlantic canada, so shipping would be rough. My price range would probably be 600CDN, or around 400US, or is that impossible to get decent wheels(without tires) for that much? confused

Mine are for sale in the classifieds. laugh



I've listed a "wheels only" price of 450 USD, but I'm ready to make a deal. Check the classifieds, Look for the MasItaly MGRs listing for more details. E-mail or PM me if you have more questions.

I have no idea on shipping, though, at least not yet. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the help guys, but i've found a new set(close to it) very close to home for 125$CDN apeice, though for a bit Roger's were appealing to my eye. Sharp car, exhaust looks good. laugh
