New Wheels!

What do you guys think of my new wheels and cowl hood? I just had my trans built so I need to save up some money to paint my hood.

Thanks, Chris

Re: New Wheels!

Looks good. They look like 18s? Might be 17s. Point being they look great. You might get some people saying the wheels arent trim correct but it can pull it off.

Paint the hood and she will sit pretty.

Re: New Wheels!

Thanks guy, btw they are 18's. My next task is to lower it so the tire just tuck up a little into the fenders.

Re: New Wheels!

Look'n good!
Can't really go wrong with the 18+ IROC wheels. I had 18/20 IROC's on mine for awhile and I really liked them. Just wished they came wider than 8".

Re: New Wheels!

Yeah I do have like 1/4 in spacers in the front cause the hub wouldnt clear the inside of the wheel. Btw mine are 8.5in all the way around. The wheels I had at the car show were Boss 338,8.5in 245/40/18 and the rears were 9.5in 275/40/18, I borrowed them off my cousin Monte Carlo cause my wheels weren't here yet. I really liked those a lot.

Thanks, Chris

Re: New Wheels!

Ya those looked good. I was thinking WHY did he get rid of those for these. Looks great with both. I love the color too. Ive always wanted to do a 3rdGen that color.

Re: New Wheels!

Thanks, It took me a while to pick the color. I finally settled on the 2011 Nissan Daytona blue. Little did I know it was $760 a gallon!

Re: New Wheels!

Ya thats $$$. I was looking at Dark Cloisonne from the '96 grandsport vette or house of Kolor Orion silver base with cobalt blue candy top coat.

Prob. just gonna reshoot it Artic white so I dont have to pull the engine to do the engine bay, etc..
