i thought i would share my project for the day and see what you all thought of them.
i set out last night to find someone that knows someone who could/would swap my tires and balance "for a cheap price" on to the set of simmons rims i picked up from vrinner , luckily i found said person late last night . he is also a mech. at the local ford dealer . so about 10:00am , we set out to do the swap , home by 12:00pm and 20 bucks later my tires are mounted and balanced .
installed the rims/tires and get in to start only to find i hadnt put the cluster back in the car , from when i repaired the "pulled loose" wire on the flexable board
. reinstall cluster and attempted to start . it fires , but runs really poorly and i can hear a big vaccume leak . i shut it down and start to looking but couldnt find it at first , started again and i got under the hood real fast to try and locate it . still couldnt find it but i had the area localized so i shut it down again . started pulling on vaccume lines till i found the bad one, it was the line that hooks to the pcv and goes to the under side of the intake , fixed said hose and "bang" it fired right up and purrrrred
anyways here are the pics of the rims on my car

Those look great, Mike! Hopefully Vince can find the center caps to go with them.
