Quick opinion on Mazda 626 aluminum wheels...
I have a chance to buy 4 factory wheels with decent tires for $100.00.
It seems to me that's a good deal...And I can get rid of those hubcaps now ..
What do Y'all think ?

Getting rid of hubcap or wheel covers is a good thing, imo, however personally, I was never too crazy about the factory mags of that era either... in appearance I mean.
Also, chances are good that they will not save you any unsprung weight, if that's a concern of yours.
Ask yourself (or do some corresponding research):
1) Are they the correct size or acceptably over-sized size (Plus zero, plus 1, plus 2) and bolt pattern?
2) Do they have an acceptable off-set and backspace?
3) Are they wider than the wheels I have now and how is that liable to affect fitment and speedometer error?
4) Are they in good shape (round, not bent, no excessive road/curb rash, etc?)
Otherwise, $100 sounds pretty damned good to me!!

The wheels are the factory aluminum wheels that come on a 1998--->2002 626.
I like the stock appearance. And they have 4 almost new Firestone FireHawk GT
tires on them. Even at TireRack the tires were $70.00 apiece, so this looks like a
great deal.....
Thoughts ?
