Not my style, but it appeared nicely done, shows evidence of some craftsmanship.

I assume those rims are for sale? Would you take trades? Phone dials from a 924 maybe?

I like the look of the stationary spinner. Makes the car look like it is being dragged along.

Lots of rim rash - could be from curbs, could be from machinery.

Cool. I was going to install a set of these eco-friendly Mini-lite spoke wheels w/knock-off hubs and very low-profile tires (Cannon Wheels are 45x2.5 and 60x2.5). Tires are 40x.625" and 60x.625 with steel belt.

Perfect for navigating the Donner Pass in the 1800's. You do know that WRC runs skinny tires in the snow.
