I have never seen those wheels either. I love them. They look great on your car. Do they come in other colors? Those are some slick tires. What brand are those?

Are those 17's?

Sorry for the questions. Really like the wheels and they look great!


Congrats!

Wow, I've never seen those wheels before, but they look amazing on your car.

Thanks for compliments guys. I'm still waiting for a comment about the lettering on the lip (andrewmp6?), anybody?JK

I need 1/4" spacers on the rear and 1" on the front. The rear rubs on one of the bolts for the 4 link. The front is rubbing the UCA.

These come in silver (which I wanted but they didn't have my size), grey (the one's I have), black, and chrome. The rear tires are 295/35-18 BFG drag radials. The fronts are 235/40-18 BFG KDW2's.

When I clean the car up and get it off the jack stands it will look much better. Here are some pics I took yesterday.

I think it turned out great Mike. Nice choice. Your car is going to hook up much better this year with the 4 link and DR's. I was able to drive my car to work today and even put the top down on the way home. It was actually the 2nd time in 2 weeks. You'll get your chance to drive it soon enough. In the mean time enjoy the exercise of the snow shovel. LOL!
