      Yup, that's for 2. I've seen the 9's around $190ea, and the 7's & 8's around $180ea.

      ...and agreed a little pricey for a plain steel wheel....but they look killer on the right car, and I'm thinking in this case could have a good look for a 4-door. Paint them blue to match the interior.

        I agree with rreemo on this. Those wheels would look sick! This car plus wheels, and good stereo system with AC blowing is a badass cruiser

          Ok side note.

          What is a good cheap way for disk brake power brakes? If that's even possible. Vs buying brand new I mean.

          And for the steering. It's a bit loose. What's a good fix (has manual everything)

                Guess I was too late. Barpn, I just clicked ur CL link and it says it's expired. No clue what it was.

                Secondly, question. The car has a dual electric fan setup yet only one side spins (driver side). I have yet to see the second fan kick on. I assume it's for like the ac being on. But i think I need that second small fan to keep her cool. Drove her to work tonight. First longish drive since I got it. She ran around 170-185 while cruising. But if u stop, it slowly creeps past 200 in a fairly short amount of time. Thoughts? And fyi, it isn't hooked up to a thermostat. It just runs as soon as I key up the car. Previous owner hack job. But he did a decent job at keeping it fairly clean looking and also using some fused relays.

                  Could the second one just be on a T-stat, or are they wired together?

                  Also, if you don't have a shroud, when you creep or stop, engine heat will go right around the fans. Remember my set-up? Same deal.

                    Unsure about the tstat but I don't see one anywhere in the radiator. No shroud. Hm.

                        She was pretty low on coolant so that might be the culprit.. Anywho I finally figured out this dumb shifter contraption and I think this ol hoopie might give a prius a run for its money. Jus sayin...

                          Nice! I hope that's your fix. Might want to look into the loss of coolant. Maybe through the resivoir or something.
