Anyone selling ssr mesh wheels or reverse ones? 14-15" with an offset no lower than 0 and higher than 30. Tires or no tires its okay. Im always searching for them and its gonna take away hours off my time since I really like how they are on 240sx. Anyways I finished collecting the bolts and hopefully I have it all. Ill be taking out the seats and carpet so it can be ready for the sound tar removal. Look foward to it as Ill show pictures of the dry ice in action.

[Malac0da13]

[mrzabala]

Yeah I saw it too. a pair for 265shipped and the 4set gold forumula ssr 325.70. Want a complete set with very little to no curb rash, scratches, etc. I wouldnt mind paying extra for the condition Im looking for.

The way average people drive in SoCal the prius won't be getting nearly 60mpg, probably around 30mpg. The speed limit here means the under limit. Unless there is traffic, everyone's minimum speed is the speed limit. Driving 80-90mph on the freeway with a prius would kill the mpg. I would rather save the money and spend it to get an LS1 swap.

Look at it this way. Even if you get a car that gets 20mpg more than the car I get, driving 15,000 miles a year assuming $3.50/gal of gas it would only cost $2625 more a year or $218.75 a month. There are other cars that get better real life mpg or close. The new corollas look hell of lot better and still get similar real world mpg as the prius. Anyhow, anything short of a $35,000 car I would rather get an LS1 swapped into my 240.
