Long overdue, but they just arrived at my door!

No dings or dents on any of the wheels, came with the original paper work, and the original bolt on valve-stems!





The markings on the back indicate they were made in August '84, a little under a year before my car was made. Match made in heaven, if you ask me.

Finally got some tires. Falken 512's 205/60/14










I have fender flares that I'm going to put on with my lowering springs, tokico blues, and energy suspension bushings in the near future. Just thought I'd post an update.

Looking Good!!

Those wheels fill up the wells nicely, why would you want to put flares on?

I have spacers for them, so they'll technically have a lower offset, and I'll be able to lower the car a little more.

Thank you, by the way.

The engine is running really well., since it's warmed up a lot of the boost creep has stopped. Holds steady at around 11-12lbs. Feels and runs great.
