Help me save my baby blue!

Have been seearching web for hours, so glad I found y'all!
:eek: I don't want to give up my 94 Metro, but lately the problems are piling up! The fan & heat stopped working, it won't pass smog, and the radiator fan is directly wired just to keep cool. (already replaced fan sensor/motor). On top of all that, somebody hit her in the middle of the night, and cracked my wheel. I am having a hard time finding a 12" wheel in So. Cal.
Any advice for any of the above??

For the wheels, change them all for 15'' =P

Trust me, if I could afford that right now I would. Unfortunately that is not feasable. Just trying to find a temporary replacement so I don't break up on the freeway! Why on earth did they EVER decide to use 12"?!

if thats not close enough let me know and will get you more surces

12" has a smaller outer diamater. Better final drive ratio, less rotating mass, more HP to the road, more efficient :) And tires are dirt cheap!

I have a ton of wheels with tires. If you want to pay shipping, I will send you a tire and wheel. Email me @ dstuart115@excite.com. I live in Kansas City so shipping might be $20 to $30. I will have to check. I also have a bunch of spare parts. Give me a list and I will see what I have and shot you a price.

also more sidewall flex and worse handling. But if I were driving a geo, I wouldn't be worried about looks, handling, or speed. :p

AH HAH! I have 15" :-P. The 12" rims won't fit over my brakes. Nor will they handle enough tire to keep traction. I use Toyo 195/50R15's. Gotta put the power to the ground somehow. On a 3cyl metro, 15's are horrid, and makes the car a complete dog. I'm buying a 3 banger metro here soon and it's got 15's. Anyone want them? Trade ya for a set of 12's with winter tires! :smokin:
