    If it has Halibrand wheels, it must be a nice hot rod...right?

     



    My score from the swapmeet at Goodguys Bowling Green yesterday. A set of 18" Halibrand wheels w/ tires for $300. A couple of hours of polishing...... and my wife is off of my ass. Her car now has big wheels.

    I get to start on the Dodge.

    It is a freakin' Toyota Corolla. ....probably the only one in existance with Halibrand wheels!


    They were kinda neglected looking and tagged as PT Cruiser wheels. I'm guessing he didn't get much intrest.

    Halibrand doesn't list FWD application for the Sprint II any more on their web site.

    Anybody have a guess as to when these wheels might have been made?

    My wife has decided that she can not deal with the pressure of driving a car with nice wheels. She asked me to put her old wheels and tires back on.

    Should I ebay them?

    ....or narrow the backsides and have a set of 18" skinnies and run tall bias plys (skinny front, 8.20-18 dirttrack rear) on a hot rod? I would also have to have them re-drilled for a new bolt pattern.
