Thanks to everyone for the props (and sorry to hear about your noggin there, Ron (cringing)). Minus the transport issue, Ron. You got the better deal - the body on that Red one (at least from the pictures) looks much better than this one...
I have no idea where those rims came from. PO says he got em on ebay for $150. They're not Centras though. No matter, they're nowhere near what I want for the car and will be pawned off.
TTYS, JT

What are those wheels from? I'm going to guess...Renault Turbo Fuego?
Good work.
