Dude, show me where it makes sense to put a $200 motor in a car you only paid $150 for? I guarantee for that much there is more wrong with the car than just a thrown rod else the guy would of replaced the motor already. Most cars under $500 is asking for a LOT of trouble. Quite honestly trading with parts that are not in good shape is problematic too.

That Volvo is hot man. Come to think of it, I love Volvos. The boxines of Volvos is very sililar to that of out cars. Volvo Volvo Volvo Volvo
I do think the rims on the Prelude will look better on your car than the white ones. I'd suggest getting some larger profile tires as the 40 series that are on there now make the car look a tad strange. If the wheels hold air then I don't think you need to worry about the crack. Good look with it.
That Volvo rocks.

Correction, I talk about volvo's only in threads you post in to irritate you. I take joy in annoying people like you on the internet. It makes my life complete. 
As far as the wheel balance....you haven't taken science or physics yet have you? If you take a wheel that is perfectly balanced and spin it, it should spin with out any vibration or oscillation. Take a little bit of weightt and place it at any point on the wheel and it will vibrate/oscillate. Welding a crack will cause that. Other thing would be wheel integrity. A crack probably compromised that.
Oh btw....Volvo.

I would suggest calling the closest "Wheels America" http://www.fixrim.com. They will strip, fix, machine, polish, and powdercoat any aluminum rim for $129 (if it can be fixed). I had my 3-piece BBS rims done there and they came out excellent.
