Re: 85 Tercel 4wd (Topanga)

an easy (read cheap) wheel upgrade is to paint the stock steelies silver, ditch the stock center caps, and install 2wd centers. makes a world of differnce IMO. i absolutely HATE the looks of the white steel wheels- reminds me of the old "wagon wheels" used on yank trucks back in the day (...
