That seems like a good price. I have purchased from a junk yard for $150 each. $200 for cleaned up and running true looks good. What do new rims go for?

Yeah, but, closer to four. I did a full breakdown on another thread. Almost 400 for the wheel, another 30 for a center cap and 5 bucks and change for each lug nut. Sheesh!

Are you familiar with Bridgestone Blizzak tires? I have 4 to sell.

Thanks for the compliemnts, but I took the pics at dusk so that the ten years of rust belt road wear (Indianapolis, Akron, and Detroit) would be less noticable. The hood looks like it is a lunar landscape with all the chips and I was just quoted a complete re-paint for $3,500 by a high quality shop.

I like the brown paper and duct tape, kinda like the unkown comic/sports car.

David,
Which version are these and how old are they (not miles, but years)?

Blizzak

I was looking at the Tirerack ad in this months Car & Driver and they show two versions of the Blizzak. I haven't checked the website, but I'm sure they will both be there as well. Just wondering mostly.

Blizzaks

They changed the pattern and compound in the last year or so. I think they also have two types now, depending upon the size of the tires. Check with your local Sears or Tire Rack....Don
