New Wheels

I want new wheels but I'm not willing to pay a big price for 'em.

I have been looking at these for a while now and wanted to see what you guys think.

Re: New Wheels

looks like a cheap reproduction of an old cragar wheel crossed with a weld pro-magnum...interstesting....my question about it would be the weight...but they're not a bad looking wheel.

I'm with Tony, on both counts. I love stock.

But those are cool and I think they would look great. You're the one looking at them and cleaning (and cleaning and cleaning) them once they're on the car. Make yourself happy.

Try "putting them on the car" in Photoshop, if you want to see how it will look. I'm getting ready to paint Cam's eye buckets black, and did that in PS to make sure I was going to like it.
