I just bought a '92 745T. It has the 15" Aries rim, and I suspect one rim is bent... Toying with seeing if I can't score a set of Hydra 16" rims instead? It is going to need 4 new tires ASAP anyways...

whatcha think?

 

hydra's for sure

 

so... where do I find 4 Hydra's in good condtion for a reasonable price?

oh, turns out I think TWO rims are bent, both on the front at least, when I jack the wheels up and spin them, I see a distinct flat spot on each of the wheels on front. I guess I should rotate those to the back asap while I sort out what to do because I can sure feel the vibration at highway speeds and I know thats hell on the ball joints.

 

I found my 4 hydras locally for a great deal.

I did find the Volvo recycler in Rancho Cordoba sells them for $125 each if anyone is lookign for them.

 

oh yeah. I have two Aries rims that are straight as far as I can tell, have the usual minor curb rash on the bead, and they have some -eh- tires with some tread left (not much, maybe twice legal). I'm in Santa Cruz, and don't want to ship these things, so this is probably only of interest to someone in the SF and Monterey Bay areas. I'll probably list them on craigslist eventually.

 

I never did follow up...

Same car with Hydras that I scored from an SFBA member of turbobricks



and yes, the two straight Aries are currently on the SF Bay Craigslist...
