Putting them on the car tonite and getting an alignment. I’ll put the wonky wheel (wheely wonka) on the rear right until I can get it fixed. I’m not driving it more than a few miles for a while.



Some trimming is in my future

White wheels look good! And it is a good idea not to drive much with wobbling wheels. They can ruin everything from steering parts and bearings to joints and bushings.

I had same to happen once with 13'' rusty steel wheel. After sand blasting it was still so wobbly that I needed to find another one. Sometimes people including me have just bad luck.

I had a shop that works on high end imports mount the tires and do an alignment. They got it in spec and were able to balance the wheel. It wasn’t as bad as the tire shop said it was… I still want to get it trued and find a spare MR2 wheel and matching tire for camping and squatching trips.
With 30psi it rides pretty smooth and tracks great!

Looks great!

Thanks!

I get so many compliments and people who say they have never seen one!

I had my daughter practice driving it today and she did pretty well! I think it’s important for the kids to learn how to drive a manual before everything goes electric.

I got her some stickers to put on the car!

Holy cow, I adore that "movin as fast I can" turtle sticker. I'm not usually much for stickers on my cars but I want that one. Where did your daughter get it? If you can post a link I'd really appreciate it!
