Looking for 4kq steel wheels

[Huw Powell]

Heck, you could be right, I don't have any around right now to go
check.  But I did buy some 15" ronals that were supposedly on a type 43
diesel or something on ebay, should have them next week sometime.  Those
won't answer any of this question, of course!

have you ever seen any of those weird ugly 9 spoke alloys on a 4kq or
late coupe?  I'm racking my brains to see if I can remember any right
now...

Anyway, the *real* answer to the original question is that there are
4kq's hoppin' up onto jackstands and losing parts left right and center
all over the place these days - a spare set of 14" alloys shouldn't be
too hard to find for $100/set or less.
