scott those rims look really good, nice to see something other than pro stars
I'm going to be swapping to 27 or 28" tires to bring up the nose a bit for off and on the trailer, that pesky chin spoiler likes to catch and drag on my brand new paint...

He had a few different sets on his and I loved the look of the pro stars until I seen his other wheels on the same car, I think they are amercian racing or centerlines but it was enough for me to say I did not want the pro stars.
yea i have pro stars, and if I didn't get such a great deal on them I would have gotten something more original.

Thats a nice car, I've actually seen it in person and talked to the owner. He's in a wheel chair, thats why you see the hand controls. The car looks just as good in person as in the pics, its one of the few big block thirdgens I've seen thats done well. I've been thinking about the M/T wheels too but can't justify the cost.
or how 'bout those new american racing Trak Stars...those look excellent...and you can never go wrong with any of the bogarts....one of these days, i'm gonna have a very nice set of super lightweight wheels...but it's gonna be a while.
Oh, that pisses me off… I tried to get a set around Christmas and was told that the offsets that would work are only available in a 5x5.5” bolt pattern so I was out o luck.
Get some better pictures up, I want to see how that backspacing really fits, what size tire is that?
Okay, I ordered the front tires, I went with the 28`s , got a good deal so next picture should have all the rubber on it, but for now heres a better set of them. tires are 29 x 12.50 dot hoosier quick time pro`s
sorta sale? holey smokes, you got a killer deal on them! normally those back wheels are like $280/ea or something!

my buddy just picked up 2 rears this weekend at the drag expo in IL for $260 for the pair, guy wanted $230 a pop for the fronts so he held off on ordering the fronts since that would be $460 for the pair of fronts

There is a shop selling them on racingjunk. A pair 0f 4s and apair of 15x8's will run $779, including free shipping!
I bought 15x10's and 15x3.5's and they ran 799 with free shipping. These rims are now discontinued and he bought out the M/T stock. Summit and Jeg's don't even have the sizes anymore.
