Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
There's a little more involved than you think...

I will definitely post the manufacturer's name when I make the new post.

New tires were swapped today.. I downsized the fronts from 255/45 to 245/45. Hoping to start the metal work tomorrow.

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
Why such small tires? Aren't that size gonna be a bit too narrow for the wheels?

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
Not really, the 245's are recommended for a 8 inch wheel.

I swapped them because the sidewalls on the 255's were roughly 3/8's taller than the sidewalls of the 315's. The 245's match the 315's sidewall alot better.

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
Ah......Didn't recall you going so narrow on the front wheels. With only 8", 245s make sense.

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
I finished the rear inner-fender work today and the wheels are on the car! It was hotter than hell today and I'm pretty tired, so I didn't have it in me to wash and clean up the car for the pictures.

I'll try to find the time during the work week if possible to get the car cleaned up for the pics. So hang in there...

On a side note: I drank 7 big bottles of water today and only peed once. Thermometer read 101* in the garage!

Going to pass out now...

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
Any pics of the inner fenderwell modding you did?

I'm curious about how little you got away with actually doing.

Re: Teaser pic of my new custom one-off wheels....
No pics, my camera's battery was dead and I didn't know it. But I'll pull a wheel off and take pics the day I clean up the car for the photo shoot.

Pretty schweet man, not bad at all, i always liked the 17/18 inch IROCs, those are a bit better than the IROCs i believe, good job.

I like them. I would love to compare them side by side to my firehawk wheels.
