i'm not sure if this is the rite place to post this, but what do you think of em? 3 piece O.Z. racing rims got all 4, and a set of injectors off a GSX eclipse 1st gen. Worth fixing up? and how would i repolish the rims? I got all this for 70 bucks!

 

yeah man give them a shot they would look dope on an old school jetta no joke if the offset right they would look dope on your car.

 

they will fit, i test fitted em on another civic in the yard. 4x100! the tires on em are 195/60/15. I'm thinking about powdercoating the middle red. Bad idea?

 

Get em cleaned up, powder coat the middle, then get the lip polished.

 

Hell of a nice find for $70.

 

i dont think so if you get em powder coated and repolished the rest it would look nice.keep us posted!

 

nice drifting rims

 

too badd i dont own a rearwheel drive car or else they would go on a drift car, but they'll be on my white eg, the one in the avatar.

 

nice find. they look like the SSR Reverse Mesh almost! clean those badboys!

I second this. Junkyards are some of my favorite places in the world. Hard to find nice pick-your parts around NYC though, I only know of one off I-80 in jersey, there anyone here that knows of any more? up to 100 mi away.

 

and places in texas?

 

old vw rims all fit civics? i thought the center hub/nut part of the rims are differently sized

 

theres a bunch in texas! especially around Arlington, Honda Heaven has some pretty good stuff sometimes. look around DFW. My family lives in Ft. Worth. thats how i know of these junkyards.

 

thanks dfw is a little far tho. KNow of any in san antonio?

 

Good find....wish the junkyard near me had stuff like that. They mostly have stripped cars with no motors, suspension....just messed up body panels and some random interior parts.

 

I'm curious, what makes you think these are from a VW? I'm not sure what car they came off of, i was just walking around the yard and stumbled across 2 of the wheels, and they both had tires, i tried to look for the other 2 but with now luck. then i found a chrysler lebaron (next to the wheels) and found a hidden Air research turbo in the trunk! and as i was leaving i looked on the wheel rack just to see if the other 2 rims were on the racks, and they were! I blew off shopping with my GF for a hour of rumaging thru the junkyard! Well worth it! but shes not talking to me..haha.

 

i just got lucky! the local yard doesnt carry anything thats newer then 1993! i usually go to Sacramento for parts. I'm thinking about going back and getting that air research turbo. they have a couple of old saab turbos, but they're rusted onto the engine.

 

up

 

Nice find, sorry to jack your thread but this is what I found on a celica at the junk. I only found three though.
