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...

I caught them on sale sorta, backs were 180 and fronts 230, I was able to sell my other wheels to help fund these.

I was going to get the pro stars until I seen this guy`s web page

http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/gh_racing/index2.html

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.

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.

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?

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.
