Looking at your picture somethings seems wrong... not with the car, that's all cool... but the garage seems a bitt odd. I se some pavement in the background at the left, but none in front of the garage. What happened? Did they mount the garage door on the wrong side or something? Don't even have tire tracks in front of it... LOL

It's been years since any cars were parked inside, used mainly for storage and a workshop

My car is currently sporting eagle alloys 203 series rims. However, my vote for the best looking rim goes to the torque thrust II hands down. I'll be trading my eagles in for a set shortly..... I know they're popular but they never get old.

I don't think there is a best rim for thirdgens, so many new styles come out every year. I personally favor the Fiske fm-5 or any line of the HRE rims.

I got Budnik Tiller 5's on.. Budnikwheels.com, they're NOT cheap at $1750 per set but no spacers or adapters needed and it gives the 3rd gen a SASSY look....check 'em out.

I really want a pair of Crager SS 08/61000 series Rims. I really like them alot. Was planning on putting 295/50/15's in back and 245's in front (Stingers) Does anyone know or have Cragers if there is enough backspacing or am I going to have to do some mods???


Also if anyone has a set of Cragers for sale let me know. I was planning on buying new.. but if anyone here has like new Cragers and are willing to sell let me know. Email below


will my tire sizes work? Planning on the reg crager ss for front and the inset Cragers for the rear. or should I go inset all way around?

i wasnt sure how these would look at first but i was quite impressed after i mounted them and dropped the car. they look better than any of the ones iv seen and yes they are centerline 16s , not 15s like most.

ford rims

ok, before i tell everyone where to get what they need for the cobra's, i just want to clear the air... yes i know it's a ford rim but hey i think it's somthing different, and these days you have to do somthing to compete with guys out there like i belive fatal88, who done that iroc up....... yeah i'll never probably own such a masterpiece but hey a mans got to do somthing to try and compete....

the wheels come from perfomance wheel outlet in ca...... the guy hooked me up with a company called classic wheel works in glendora, ca... they make whats really a 2" spacer that bolts to the hub and the rim which "is" a chevy bolt pattern bolts to the adapter.... there was some confusion with the 16mm offset for the rear but he done the math for classic......

if you have any other questions please pm bluegrassz because i speak to him usually on a daily basis and i don't have a computer so phone is basically all i have....... i'm at a library now

thanks again

adam
