Aka 87gtVIC and 87lxcoupe, respectively. David knew Greg still had the rims for sale, and put me in touch with him - thanks!
In fact, once I *finally* got these rims on, I realized that my car was SERIOUSLY overdue for a washing, so naturally I had to do that - and found out the particular car wash I went through wasn't all that.
Anyway, lo and behold, here's what my car looks like with Greg's old rims.... I've got to say, the bright chrome contrast against black is pretty nice....
The link in my sig to my Reader's Ride page shows the car with the original wire hubcaps. (Speaking of which, is there any demand for those hubcaps -including the red center "caps" and the various hubcap retaining hardware, and the steelies which I think are 15x6?)
EDIT: And, even though I technically SHOULD have failed, I passed inspection. It's not a safety issue, just the tailpipe is rotted out with huge holes immediately aft of the rear wheel, but since nobody noticed..... I get to stall and hem and haw and take too long to think about what I want to do exhaust-wise...
But I digress... on to the pic! Bright sunlight makes the rims look shadowed in this pic, so I'll try to get a better shot later.
