      The ones in my sig only popped like that because I was using direct lighting in the photo. They are actually much less "blingy" in person, they are machined face aluminum, not polished or anything.

      And no offense taken. I think I like the C6 wheels better on the new car, the others cost too much to keep rubber on too. . .

      • Not to mention how much better they'll look once I lower the car and put new tires on them. . .

        • I think the C5 DD's would look better than the C6 rims

                That may be so, but the c6 wheels don't cost $1100 for a set of tires. . . .

                  Depends on where you look. $1300 for these, but they throw in 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 chrome C5's for free!!

                  • Tip: fix or pay for repairs to get car in perfect running condition, then think about wheels.

                      Tip: No need to think about wheels, I'm keeping the ones that are on it right where they are.

                      I'm not dumping money into this. I'm going to fix the oil leak, get the misfire fixed, put gas in it, and drive it. I won't spend money on new parts for it until I'm positive it's going to be reliable. I'm not making that mistake again. . .

                              • Thanks guys. I'm going to track down the oil leak today after work, I'd like to get that taken care of first. It also has a "Low Coolant" light on, which in the '93 was just a bad coolant level sensor. Didn't bother me in that car, doesn't bother me in this one. I've checked the coolant several times, the coolant level is right where it should be. Car seems to be losing about 1/2 quart of oil daily, but I do drive a long distance to work (about 70 miles round trip), so that likely has something to do with it. I'm thinking it's either an oil pan gasket or a rear main seal. Either way, easy fix.

                                I'm also going to hook up the diagnostic computer to the car this afternoon to find out what code it was throwing yesterday. I meant to do that yesterday afternoon, but I was stuck at work until 10pm instead of my scheduled end time of 3:30pm. . . Needless to say, I didn't get much done after I got home, considering I had to be up and out the door to go back to work at 6am this morning.

                                Hopefully I can get the oil and fuel issues figured out tonight or some time this weekend. I'm also going to wash the car thoroughly, detail the interior, and swap in the speakers from my '93 into this one, the ones in the 94 currently are blown, there's no bass at all. All I have for the ride to work is high-mid range and high range. lol It seriously sounds like listening to a radio through a tin can.
