I was going to post this in the March AOTM thread, but it's closed so I can't, so anyway here's a daytime shot.

heh.. didn't mean for it, but the bush really covers up the rust hole...lol. I don't really care for the wheels on it, but they came with the car. I got some Enkei's from the junkyard off a GA back in the beginning of Jan. just need some new rubber for em... here's a not so great pic of the Enkei's

I cleaned em up a bit the other day, still got some stubborn tar to get off em. A couple of them have a bit of curb rash on em, and one has a few chips in the paint. I went looking for some touch up paint, but couldn't find a good match... so I went down the nail polish aisle and found a great match. One is missing the center nameplate.. not the whole center cap.. just the little metal plate. But for the price I paid, I ain't not complainin no none :p (how many double negatives was that?).

Well, the Enkeis bolt pattern is just slightly off (114.3). Though some people never have a problem running 114.3 wheels, others break studs. So I decided rather than chance breaking a stud, to buy new wheels as I hate the stupid silver wheels that previous owner put on it. Got a decent deal on them, went with 16in. as well.

I know.. you want pics :) Here she is with new wheels in her rusted glory

Edit to add: Now what color to paint the calipers....

That's why I went with new wheels.. wouldn't have bought new wheels, but only paid $40 a wheel. I REALLY liked the Enkei's, even more than the new wheels even. My buddy is selling the Enkei's on Craigslist for me.. if anybody here is interested in the Enkei's.. shoot me a PM. They are 15 inch, 5 lug 114.3 bolt pattern. I got em off a GA that they had been on for quite some time (no broken lugs on the GA).
