Rev 109 “Magnum” wheels on 1987 Formula

A few pics of my car (driver quality) since getting new wheels/tires. Since my daughter is still in college I’ve had to be budget minded with everything. I chose the Rev 109 Magnum 17x8 4.5BS wheels with Toyo Extensa HP II 255/45R17 tires at all four corners. Before the wheel/tires were bolted on I installed Founders Performance (Vogtland) lowering springs, Monroe front shocks and strut mount plates, Moog ball joints, Prothane urethane control arm bushings, KYB rear shocks and an alignment. Sits much better. Rides and tracks tight. No tire/fenderwell rubbing.

Very nice! Love the wheels. Where in NC are you? ...I'm in the Piedmont Triad area.

Reminds me of the old steel Rally II Pontiac wheels. Looks great!

Thanks for the compliments. I was leaning toward the 17x9 snowflakes like Hawks sells. But I really wanted something different. I’ve always liked the Pontiac Rally II’s so I thought I’d take a chance with the Rev 109’s. Very happy.
