Dang, sorry to hear about the spoiler! Hope you recover it pronto!

I don't think I'll ever recover the spoiler...Very sad world we live in..I got the HID lights for 50 dollars and it was a plug n play Kit...

Advertise for them in this forum's "wanted to buy" section.

There are Canadian and Italian models. The Canadian models are not directional (put them on any side) while the Italian models are left side of car and right side of car specific.
The no curb rash specification is hard to find as the newest ones are 23 years old. But there are lots out there with minimal curb issues that originated in rural areas where curbs are not an issue.
If full sets are not available, consider buying them one at a time or in pairs.

Expect about $25 to $40.00 each for nice rims, maybe more for excellent ones. At the other end of the scale, people have given them away to get more storage space.

Thank you for the feedback...I'll be happy with a Canadian set...

I am not up on the topic, but check on this forum to make sure the 13" brake upgrade on your front wheels will work under the 16" slicers.

Sometimes you can buy rims and tires together on this forum (slicers or otherwise) for a good price. Take a look at the "parts for sale" section and read most of the posts as sometimes things get added half way through.

And you are welcome..... that is what the "THANKS" button on the lower right is for.
