ok so, about three nights ago, my boss towed a 96 acura that is completely trashed. i mean the whole interior is gone and all the windows are broken. i havent looked inside the hood yet, but i will once we own the car. Ok let me get to the point. I was going to buy these wheels (http://buywheelstoday.com/images/?id=607) lke in a month or so. BUT GUESS WHAT?!?!?! this acura has them!!!!! i dont think the "owner" of the car is going to pick them up since it was towed because it was abandoned for 5 days at one of our private proerties and its been 3 days and he hasnt called. Plus the release fee is already 545 bucks so i dont think this guy thinks his car is worth that lol. anyway i have to wait 30 days before the lean goes thru for us to own the car and me to get the wheels!!!

SO HE'RE IS MY DEAL! since the car needs to be sent to the scrap yard after those 30 days and they wont take the car without wheels....so this means i have to swap wheels with this car. i dont want to give up my wheels to the scrap yard since they're in great conditon. SO ANYONE WANT TO TRADE? im looking for stealies so i can put them on this acura. i dont really want to ship them, so local would be great! not only because shipping steelies from half accross the nation will take at least 2 weeks (you have to remember my car is a daily driver) but also because, i really cant have this car on stilts.

anyway here is a pic of my wheels:

They could have been fixed easily. We bought a set of Indy or also known as SS/T rims from the 97-98 Indy Pace Truck and SS/T Rams from a guy in Michigan. All four rims had cracks around the bead area because they were run on the rims in a police chase and all four tires had been spiked. Truck wrecked, yadda yadda. We ended up buying the rims cheap off his truck and he shipped them to us. Then we took them to a rim shop and they heli-arced the cracks up, and re-turned the faces of the rims and the bead lips, and re-clearcoated them like brand new. Costed $100 a rim, and to buy them new from Dodge, they are about $650 EACH. Not a bad deal.

Oh and I have two extras now because between two wrecks my wife has had in the truck, they've fixed the rims again, and I complained and had them put brand new rims on, and they let me have the old rims too, and they had already been refinished lol. Not perfect rims, but damn good for freebies!!

oh no dude...the were not just cracked...like not a hairline type of deal.....it was like cracked so through the rim, like it would need to be welded back on, also....one was missing a piece. anyway this was over a year ago lol
