    Hey this could be a "how-to" thread on how to plan to crash your festiva :thumbright:

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      Other rims have patterns like this and remain strong, so why not the stock wheels? My only concern is that the steel would be too thin and collapse under the weight of the car.

      Thoughts? I think it would look awesome if painted black with chrome bolts and red calipers.
      Do what you did in this picture--use a black permanent marker to make it look like a 5-spoke rim!

        If you still decide to do this, do me a favor and put my name on the title too.
        Then I can collect the usable remains of the car without a lot of legal hassle.

          But John, if that was the case, wouldn't you also be responsible for any damages if he injured someone else? Better ask to be in his will.

            John, if you will send me $500, I will send you ten times that amount when a certain party sends me the $500 he owes me.

              Jerry, think a lot depends on the state your in.But can't see how being on the title of a car would make me responsible for other peoples stupidity.
              But wouldn't put it past some lawyer to try.

              Did think of asking for the car via a will, but thought that might not be as easy, due to the "sound mind" part. Who is going to believe that of a person who intensionally cuts up there wheels and drives on them is of "sound mind". Me thinks it would be contested!
