looks like a cheap rattle can job on those wheels. use the money you saved on the wheels to properly spray them

i am keepin my eye out far a hatch but i am more concerned bout the drivetrain right now. i started the body work because i have the materials already on hand lol. my g/f father is painting the car this spring, he works on antique car for a living and does very very nice work. i was gonna do it but he offered to do it and he has much more experiance than me.

those wheels with fit with some "massaging of the inner wheelwells.... aka, a BFH!!!!

dont forget to roll your fenders, and forget about quadshocks...

they'll fit, but it'll be tight you may wanna run dumps so you dont have to worry about the exhaust rubbing...
