Finally got wheels...
From the Acura LS:
Tires are 195/50/15 Toyo Proxies - Very soft compound.
Might paint them white.
The end.

Re: Fianlly got wheels...
I love that style of wheel. That wheel is exactly what I thought would look best to up-date the Tercel apearance.

Re: Fianlly got wheels...
One thing I learned.
Dealing with kids selling Honda parts is as funny as it is depressing. They're all stoned teenage gangster-wannabes.
"Yo, dem rimz is tyte yo!" Is one response I received when asking about the condition of a set of 4X100s I found.

Re: Fianlly got wheels...
When, Where, and Why - did wheels start getting called rims/rimz?
A rim is part of a glass or a bball goal or a spoked wheel - or even an antique car's artillery wheel, but a modern wheel? Never!

P.S. Your wheels are cool!

I have no idea when that happened. Better than 'bladez' I guess, which several ads referenced.
Also, whenever you're looking for any part interchangeable with a Honda, the keyword use on CraigsList is a joke:

Re: Fianlly got wheels...
Also, I picked up another set of Honda wheels today - exactly the same dimensions. Tires are toast but I think they'll look pretty sweet on the Terc:
Sorry, pic taken at dusk on my Galaxy...
If I don't use them as studs, they're up for trades if anyone's looking for a nice alloy wheel. The set seems in decent condition - bit of clearcoat flaking is all. I think they come from a relatively recent Accord. I was thinking they might look better they mask the shameful rear drum! Peter, any interest?
195/50/15 right now - 4X100 - Would look pretty cool with a 45MM profile tire I bet.
EDIT - how's this? Best I could do - Tom M.

Re: Finally got wheels...
Nice!
And the discoloration is mud - they were delivered on the back of a dirty truck.
I think they might look really rather good. I'll mount them tomorrow and grab a snap.
Here's a better pic of them just sitting around:

Re: Finally got wheels...
Frankly - I like the second set better. I painted my drums what Duplicolor calls "Cast iron," but what to me looks kinda grey-green. The girly-man drums are unobtrusive behind the Daisy wheels.

I was cruising Craigslist for awhile looking at the possibility a buying a modded Honda or similar that would get good mpg...handle well...have good power....whole lot of unfinished projects out there...whole lot of "messes" where the guy got too deep in it..."lost interest"... and now wants to fost off their smoking time bombs?

Did see a few modded cars without extreme body kits...where you might have a solid ride.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

It's a real mixed bag but usually it seems to be kids with no money taking out loans, getting in well over their heads, then just giving up and parting out. I wish more of their parts were interchangeable!takza wrote:I was cruising Craigslist for awhile looking at the possibility a buying a modded Honda or similar that would get good mpg...handle well...have good power....whole lot of unfinished projects out there...whole lot of "messes" where the guy got too deep in it..."lost interest"... and now wants to fost off their smoking time bombs?

The communicating my text only is a weird one, huh? And when you call them, their phones play terrible Bay Area hip-hop instead of just having a ringtone.

Re: Finally got wheels...
I love it when the HS kids in my Was-A-Regular-Outer-Ring-Suburb but now is A-Desirable-Inner-Ring-Suburb-For-Yuppies cruise around in their Wranglers and Civics blasting HipHop but are horrified when a person of color walks up the street.
"Yo, man - what up" they say as I'm cutting the grass. "Yo, man, what up yo fonee a$$ yo WannaBeButFraidyWhitey" is what I want to reply...

The kid I bought the wheels off yesterday - still at highschool - even had a black person name he'd given himself. I can't remember what it was but he looked a lot more like an Andrew than a G-Money or whatever he said he was called!
