I'm going to look at this car on Wednesday to see if I want any parts off of it. I've not seen these wheels before....have you? Do you know what they're called? See anything you need?

I will. From the description over the phone, the whole pan is gone. However, they still want $500 for the car! Golden rust, I guess. I'm just picking up the valences. The wheels may replace the steelies on my AX car....depending on price.

No, you haven't. Busses have a 5 bolt pattern (same as Mercedes of the era) and 914s have a 4 bolt pattern. The Cap'n

They look like Toyota wheels. I thought they only came in 13'' & 14'' wheels. I had a set on an early 80's Toyota Corolla. If those are fifteens, my guess is they came on the first gen. Supra. Check the back side for a "TEQ" mark.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was going to put a "buut" in from of the name.

And is there a good reason to spend $500 here?

I'm not actually planning on buying the car. I'm just going to buy some parts from it. Hopefully the front valence and bumper are ok. I might buy the transaxle and engine too.

The wheels are VW. I know another car that has them on too. Not my thing, but to each thier own.
