Thumbs up New wheels!!!

I recieved my new wheels and spacers today from a company out of florida that uses the ebay name oemstyles4less I paid 1800.00 shipped to my door for the 4 wheels, 4 spacers, and chrome lugs. The pictures don't do the car justice....I'll take some better pics tommorow in the daylight but here it is now....A little tint and removal of those horrid pinstripes and we'll be in business...

The rear bumper is fine I think it took the pic at just the right angle to be able to see through it...It lines up fine on both sides...

Lower it and it will look even better.

You should also upgrade to the 968 caster blocks.

Nice wheels.

There's a little bit of a gap on mine. I think the 80s cars were notorious for big gaps between body panels.

Dang... Sweet bling bling... if you know what I mean. Do you know if they are forged or how much they weigh?

You are lucky to be able to get free lessons ...I'm putting about 1200 dollars a month toward the sport and horse. Those horses live a really long time as well, so no end in sight. My daughter started lessons at 3 and is now 16...I don't even want to think about the money I have already spent. You definitely live in the right part of the country if she is into jumping them. Good luck to your daughter...it really is good for the kids. I started my daughter to help her with her cerebral palsy condition...it has worked pretty well. Send me some pictures...
