Good god those pace car wheels are expensive $650 and up, not much selection.
I am working on the pics now.
3rd gen luvers $200-$300, I have heard they can be had for under $150 maybe at a junk yard. I could do $200-$300, its going to be hot here and I have read they can help keep the car a little cooler in the summer.
