Yeah the Ibishu blades look too small on it, and there isn't a tire option big enough to make it look somewhat decent. The 17x7 deep steel wheels with CS11 hubcaps is what I currently have on it. It does look a bit better without the guards though.
No, I looked up inflation beforehand (costs $6000 today). For comparison, a 1988 Subaru GL wagon cost $11,695 in 1988 which is far more than the pessima wagon cost today. OT:
IIRC they do mean the value they would sell for, so expensive for race spec and cheap for used old cars.
