Finally ordered some new rims
Well after hemming and hawing for the last 2 months witht he money burning a hole in my pocket the whole stinking time, hoping I would be able to find the perfect rims for my car, I finally gaveup the ghost yesterday and ordered a set of staggered Foose rims. I really wanted to get the Weld Racing wheels that are on the Shadrach Mustang, but good luck finding them. My wife was ready to just drag me out back and shoot me in the head if I didnt STFU already about what rims to get!! LOL Now she has the dreaded wait for Cruisin Concepts to come through on shipping a perfect set of wheels to me!
I was completely torn as to wether to get 18's or 20's and ended up with the 20's with Toyo proxies on them....hopefully Chad didnt steer me wrong and just push what he had surplus of....we shall see....

Ended up with old faithful...set of chrome Nitrous from Cruizen Concepts. I have always liked them and that was what I kept coming back to after scouring the net for the Welds at least once a week. My car is Dark Candy Apple, so the chrome will really set it off (at least I hope!) LOL

Cool, make sure you post some pics when you get them installed! I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I've had my car for close to a year and still can't decide what rims I want. At this point I'll probably just wait until I need new tires and then I'll be forced to do it.

RE: Finally ordered some new rims
Yeah Chris...I was in the same EXACT boat. I wanted something really unique, but had a muscle car look to it.....not sure the Foose fits that bill, but its a "safe" bet. Dont get me wrong, I love the rims, but they are the "Flavor of the Month" so to speak. I just hope they look more deep dish in person than they do in pictures. I almost went with Legends instead because they have a much more "dish" look to them, but I was chicken to pull the trigger..LOL
Hey Pat....the look SWEET on a black car for sure!! What size rims and tires did you end up with??? Can you send some high resolution pics to me at bill.niersbach at gmail??? (just to help solidify that I made the right choice!! LOL)
