Wow! Really sharp looking ride. I love the black bullitts on a black car.

Thanks guys! The wheels are Hot Wheels Sixty-Eights, but they look kind of bullety or similar to Mach 1 wheels. I got a crazy deal on them from Discount Tire Direct. $55/each on clearance with a $50 coupon for web orders. I literally paid like $184 for all 4 of them shipped to my door... I just couldn't pass up the deal. They look better than I could have hoped for on the car.

I was originally thinking I'd go get tint done next Friday, but I think I may take her to the shop instead for a gear install.

Oops, my bad. I guess I didn't look close enough to see they aren't bullitts. I am just so used to seeing bullitts. I really like them now that I looked closer and you got one hell of a deal on them!

Looks good, not a big fan of carbon fiber hoods, but it works well with your car.

Thanks. I think I must be too old at 34 to get the whole "big wheels" thing. The 20s with rubber bands around them look whacky to me. This is a muscle car. It belongs having more tire than wheel IMHO. 17's are big enough. I'll leave the oversized wheels to the players in the Escalades, lol.

18's definetly would have been nice but, under $200 for wheels, I think I could live it up LOL

You got a real awesome looking car there...+1 on the tint, that'll complete the look. Thats a sick looking hood, my absolute fave

Awesome Work!

Thanks! I went out on a limb on that hood, and it paid off. I think it looks sweet on there. I need to install pins this weekend however. The sucker is LIGHT!
