Not today exactly, but I saw them only this weekend : 13x4 DDS wheels in very nice condition.

See how small they are compared to 15 Erco wheels.

Those wheels are so coooolllll   Cool
Perfect for my cal look

Good eye!!! Close, it's the Yankee version on the Sierra, a 1985 Merkur XR4Ti, with a few genuine (and a few fake) Sierra Cosworth bits. It is my boss' car. It sports a built 2.3L 8v turbo motor with an aluminium head, Mustang T5, 15x7 Panasports, Koni suspension, ect. It is a really sweet car, and a rocket to boot. I was actually featured in European Car back in 1996.

I absolutely am! A GTV is not a cal looker, and never will be. It is a "Grand Touring" car, therefore should have all the bells and whistles avaliable. Wink

Part of me has always liked accessories, and this car allows me to fill that void Wink I don't see it as spoiling it at all- When I'm driving the 250 miles back from Vegas late Sunday night after the Bug-In next month, I'll be able to see much better Cool  Also, the installation that I have planned will look completely factory, and I still haven't done anything to the car that isn't very easily undone.

This car is my daily driver, and I'll do just about anything to enhance the driving experience, as long as it is period correct, tasteful, and I can convince myself that it could have been done 'back in the day'! Cheesy

You go right ahead and fit those lights, Zach! Just be careful not to damage them when you remove the bumpers and fit the T-bars though... Wink Cheesy Cheesy
