    Rims i gotta question.

    I bought an 89 lxi sedan 5 speed, 2 extra a20 engines some extra body parts... for 100 dollars. the guy who had it befor me didnt put antifreeze in it.. cracked engine.. didnt go into fifth anyways.

    Anyways i got these rims on the car but bald tires and one is bent and has a surface crack. do i replace the one and get new tires. or should i just get new rims

    [IMG][/IMG]

    the car that has the cracked engine has no rust at all except for one spot where the back of the trunk lid is dented.

    Those are ricey IMO. Look like some generic brand from Pep Boys. I'd go with an OEM wheel as they all look nicer than those.

    These are Primax or Fast Wheels I think.

    They do look like my Enkei wheels tough.
