    I've always thought these were cool. Put the proper wheels back on it and I'd drive it home.

    X2 on the wheels, those look better on a honda or vw.

    Those wheels are what, 18's? That wagon had 13-inchers stock.

    I called about it today. The rims are Nissan with adaptors bolting them on. Rear has small bolt gm 5 pattern on it also. Front has stock 4 bolt Vega style hubs. Has new dual exhaust, rebuilt tranny, new aluminum radiator. Interior is perfect except for one small tear. Car has 63,000 original miles. He said $4,500 would buy it. I just wonder how hacked up it is under the hood

    Those goofy-assed "rims" (they are WHEELS!!!:mad:) need to find a curb to hit. Hard! Then, put some nice 14" Rallyes on it and drive!!!

    A nice set of chevy Rally's for the sleeper look or a set of Weld Draglites for the Hot Rod look. Appears to be very nice, but its a four and a half hour drive from me. I thought about going to look at it but thats to far
