That is just an awesome stance. I guess you don't need those other wheels, then. Someone's trying to sell a set on Craigslist for $300, I'm sure you could get a reasonable price for them (like $100-$150, I'm guessing).

bonvo · **Posted:** Fri May 01, 2009 5:08 pm

nope i have no plans to sell them i plan on keeping them always a good idea to have another set of wheels im going to be running them on the front for a while at the very least till i get the front slots cleaned up they will remain with this car there is only one possabillity i see for me selling them and thats for my buddies datsun project and thats if he ever gets a platform

That provenance came from the yellow car? It's a shame if it did.

That thing is funky and awesome. I really dig the slot mags on it.

Here's a picture for inspiration. Homie at my old job bought a binder full of modeling shots from the 70s & 80s (swap meet find of a lifetime), and this was in there. Hope your car yields equally boss babes.
Pic of a pic.. I have no scanner.
