Inspect those wheels!

Man this sucks. I found a crack on my left front IROC wheel when I was cleaning it. I was hoping it was only the paint but after scraping off the paint it definately was cracked. Weird thing is I don't recall hitting potholes or anything else hard so I wonder why it cracked. Good thing I found it now instead of while I was driving . Just a warning out there to inspect your wheels, especially if they're old factory wheels.

Anyone wanna sell me one front IROC wheel?

you could add the frame around the steering box, brakes, fluids and lot other stuff. sometimes it's scarey to discover the condition of the car you drive every day.
