There is one different one in there :eek:! There are 3 EA81 wagon wheels and 1 EA82 wagon wheel, from what it looks like in the pics. The EA82 wagon wheels have a much sharper curve on the spokes than the EA81 wagon wheels, and usually the EA81 wheels wont fit the fronts of an EA82 car unless you have modified the calipers or have almost no brake pad left...

is it just me, or does the pic of the 4 wheels that dude just painted with the "hammered" paint look like 3 ea81 wheels and 1 ea82 wheel?

 

You guys have some EAGLE eyes, yes.....one was a little different and I didn't notice until I got them sanded and painted. the "ea81" wagon wheels are the ones I kept and went back to the junk yard and got the 4th match. I noticed that the "ea82" wagon wheels seemed like a 2 piece and seemed easier to bent, so I stuck with the "ea81"s for better performance.

 

 

 

P.s thanks for making me feel dumb:confused: and pointing it out!!!!!:banana: haha:banana:

My ea81 rims went onto my 1990 loyale (ea82) with out a hitch, with no mods....Is this a sign that I need new brakes?:confused:

finished the CV axles and the wheel bearings. (the bearings were rusted and bad.) (yesterday) and today bought 4 new tires the vibrating when going is now gone. yeah and the weriod things that my car was doing are also gone yeah. it no longer shakes when going down the highway. When replacing the tires 9we have had it less then a year) it was noted that there was 2 different sizes and one size was very worn one even had rubber balls in the tire. but now I have a water leak (by the timing belt ?) and I need to fix the exhaust manifold better one of the bolts worked loose and left me.

managed to snap off my tailpipe today.:mad: Still not sure how I did it. I think I messed up the whole exhaust system while I was at it but not sure I have exhaust coming out all over the underside of my car. It sounds really loud now can hardly hear the radio. I backed up uphill into a little pile of dirt it was just enough to snap it off. good thing I do not have to deal with emissions but I will to get this fixed. everyone can hear me coming now......:grin::grin:

I'm turbo free and I choose not to run the "cheap o" gas. I still use supreme, its worth the extra cents on the dollar, just ask you scooby how much more it like the better gas, it will gladly tell you by performance. Plus the premium gases burn out junk and grim. saw a place in Oregon that sell 111, that stuff is for the race cars, pretty penny too, like $5.89 a gal. If i recall right.
