Wheel choice?
Well, it looks like Lucy became a winter car. Dunno how much rust I'll have to take care of come spring...But anyway, she's wearing 17x7s and snow tires are just too expensive, plus I hate the way they look and they must weight a ton. Have a couple options ATM:
-Vert wheels, no center caps plus they've been ghetto'ed flat black. No biggie, throw them on for now and later on have them refinished a proper color. $200 and they can be picked-up w/o shipping.
-Stock 91 Mazda 5-spokes, 15" wheels. $100, and like before no shipping needed.
Now, the Vert wheels might look like ***, but they're a known quantity and can be cleaned-up later. 11-ish pounds per corner. What's the weight on the Mazda 5-spoke wheels? An appreciable amount more?
