Default The lows, and whats to come.

My car has many imperfections, I am going to be adressing 1 of them this summer "the rims".
I have heavy curb damage on my left front rim and a small amout of curb rash on all the rest so i'm going to try to get new ones.
Modern pic of car taken an hour ago:

Scuffed rims: the bad one


And these are just about what the others look like:

Here are the rims i am thinking about getting:


Other imperfections in my car:

Look at rear door for dents:


Lots of scratches on my bumper:

My very f***ed up front bumper: "idk what happened to it previous owner of the car did it"

And heres a couple good pics: (decieving from far away)

The gto was outsideI couldn't resist:

Things i plan to get done this year if money permits:
New front/rear bumper, left fender + repaint (also get wing painted stock color)
Get the rimes and tires
chrome or smoked side markers, new taillights
3rd brake light.

Also i have a question about thses rims if i got tokico struts would they fir with 225/40zr/18 tires?

Funny you say that the gto hasn't been cleaned since october and it still shines far better than my 2 day old wash on the neon.

In the gto right now is a 455 engine, trans and rear end stright out of a 67 catalina.
The original 389 tripower, tranny and rearend is currently in storage.
I will post pictures of the engine bay after its all detailed again, maybe next week.
