Default 35th Anniversary SS wheels

I just picked this thing up and ALL of the wheels are curb checked. Anyone know where to get the redone in the Pearland area and also how much? Poor car needs a lot of love.

Are these fixable?

I sold the truck already haha. I loved it but someone made an offer I couldn't refuse. I decided just to save up for a really nice 08+ F250, my 70 is pretty much sold and this thing happened to pop up from a friend of mine so I bought it to drive for now while I waited for the right truck. It only has 52k miles and is a one owner car. It needs a little work as you can tell but I got an amazing deal on it. Plus having a heater is pure sex.

I'll try a google search, I guarantee I am not the only one that has curbed wheels so I was curious if someone had a place they recommended.

$100 a wheel is avg to fix each wheel.

Another question how many cars have you bought/sold this year??? At this point does the state consider you a car dealer?

Car looks nice gratz on the SS A4 or M6?

You can buy as many as you want, but you can only sell 5 per calendar year. That said, I know a guy that has sold more than 5 on and off (in his name, no title jumping) over the past 10 years, and they didn't fine him or take him to jail. Yet.

I think unless you're half-@$$ trying to run a used car lot out of your driveway, they won't mess with you.

You have to transfer them to sell them..

This happened on the forums a month or so ago and the guy has all the rights to go pick up the car and the second buyer could do ****.

It's an M6 and no I have not transferred the title on anything recently. I am going to transfer it on this car though, as much as I would hate to do it since it's a one owner car but I need to put them in my name because it really isn't your car if the title isn't switched.

No mods, has D/S rotors, bad *** pads, new clutch master and factory CME exhaust, that's it.

Idk if I have hit 5 or not, I probably have. A year is a really long time.

And yeah, I know I talked some **** about 4th gens but I miss my Trans Am sooo much. I was a little smarter about this car, I didn't pay hardly anything for it plus it's a low mileage anniversary car. I needed a car and this happened to be the first thing that popped up..

Gonna be honest though, it's not much to write home about. It's really nice but needs a desperate cleaning and a little paint work.

Pretty sure the original seller could revoke any of the sales since minors cant enter int a contract anyways.

I'm 18 now for the record, but I don't think it matters. I bought my 99 WS6 from a dealer and they said I just couldn't finance the car as a minor, they could put it in my name and everything. That's when I first figured out that you could own a car at ANY age.
