Nice rims.

Are you planning on removing the rest of the black bumper trim to match the doors, or are going to replace the missing peices on the doors?

Tires are 235/50/13 Sumitomo

The rest of the trim will be leaving. I leave the car at my parents place in NC, and I run out of time over the holiday to finish the trim. I spent most of the time replaceing the engine.

I wish I knew who made the rims. They have a black center cap that makes them look better but I only have one left. The cap says Sprit of America. My buddy bought the rims in 95 and sold the car to me in june of last year.

Are the tires too small? The tire diameter is like an inch smaller than stock.

235 is pretty wide. Isn't stock for a 12A powered car something like 175 70 R13, or 185 70R13?

The diameter has to be near stock or the speedometer is off.
