Week just keeps getting better and better

yup, every single one of my stock BBS rims are bent. $135 each to get them fixed, 300 plus shipping to buy a used set.

Anybody happen to know of good RWD wheels around 14-16 inches that weigh around 14 pounds or less for around 200 each?

This is why people in OK need trucks.

I told you to get the seats recovered.

Seriously though, that does suck.

I feel your pain man.

I have the original wheels off of my 92, they are 16s I doubt that they weigh in under 14 lbs, but I wouldn't charge you 200 apiece for them either.

Sucks about the wheels though. What caused it?

Don't worry, the seats will have new life in about a month. Getting some wet-okole seat covers. Waterproof , Neoprene(Sparco material, hold you in place better). PERFECT fit, looks "super"stock, I've seen pics of other people with them. I'll post pics when I get them

What caused it? I thought you lived in OK

You know: those smooth, flat roads we have here.

and the wheels ARE BBS(mean they will bend), are from 1987(plenty of time to bend), and the car has been in OK for at least 12 years(plenty of chances to bend)

I think I'll get these this summer:

like mine but 1.5" wider, and 1" taller, and "deep-dish" style. (the pattern sits an inch "back" in the wheel. 180 bucks a piece, and will fit with no issues I believe. they weigh about 1.5 punds more each, but according to a guy who has them, he said the 1.5" wider tire easily off set and loss of handling and actually added some. For acceleration losses(I believe the weight gain will equate to about a 3-5 HP loss), I'll made to add some good old power mods.

92 BMW? too bad they'd be 5 bolt!(or was it a convert, or late build E30?)
