Boyd Coddington pics?
I know there are some threads out there about rims but I have some specifics.
Does anyone have pics of a firebird/TA with Boyd Coddington rims? I really like the "Espada" but can't make up my mind. I saw an amazing red camaro with them but it's not enough to make up mind to spend that much on a rim.
Also, how strong are these rims? And, are my rear drum brakes going to kill the show?
Thanks in advance

Re: Boyd Coddington pics?
Haha both wrong but DBLTKE is close . Heres the thing , its an original mecham trans am spoiler . Mecham was like slp is today . Well dennis and kyle mecham designed this spiler/wing with steve saleen and thats why the spoiler looks just like a mustang wing . I actually have another original mecham wing off an 82 but mecham reproduces them for 450 plus shipping . They are smoothie 2's i think . The 2 has the stepped lip . Im mad that i got this version for the only fact that i can run c6z06 brakes since they are the stepped lip version they have a 17inch wheel center with an 18 inch wheel hoop . I was afraid when i bought them of bending the lip on a pot hole or semething . The rear lip woulda been like 5-6 inches and i didnt wanna risk it plus i think these look better. The cool thing woulda been 19's with the stepped lip to have 18 inch wheel centers.
