Second Attempt! ***PICS***

It seems my last photoshop didn't turn out so well... so I took a few more seconds and did a better job putting the magneatos onto a thirdgen. This time they are scaled exactly to 17 inches, so I don't wanna hear "TOO BIG!!"... I'm happy with the way this turned out.

Sorry for whoever's car I used... it's a great looking car, even with the centerlines.



comments are welcome

*** sorry... this is like the third image host that's crapped out on me... they should work for a wile now ***

Thanx guys... hopefully soon I can put up some pics of the real thing

FLYNLO92rs... yes... the rims come in:

17X7 $329.41
17X8 $329.41
17X10 $343.53
18X7 $428.24
18X8 $428.24
18X9 $435.29
18X10 $444.71
20x8.5 $552.00
20X10 $565.00

You can get custom backspacing in 1/8" increments so the depth of the dish is pretty much up to you. If you want something really crazy, call Coddington directly and they will accomodate you... for a price.

Wheels + Tires X 4 = Big Bucks for any of those choices. Good Luck on winning the Lottery.

They are Boyd Coddington Magneatos.... and you can get them significantly cheaper than that. That's the price if you get them directly from Coddington.

Yeah, I was about to say, don't buy them from boyd. About the cheapest I've seen those is at www.sportruck.com . 17's are $925 a set, and 18's are $1195 a set.

Just FYI for everyone, that is one of the cheapest wheels boyd makes because they are cast.

It's the same as a 2 piece billet except the center section is cast... (the factory wheels are cast and they don't fall apart from every day driving). I agree billet is certainly stronger.... but when you are just going for the look (have 2 other sets of wheels specifically for road racing and drag racing) I would rather save the cash just to get the "billet" label. The only way anyone could ever tell the difference is if I was to tell them.


Also images are back up... don't know WTF is up with my FTP server these days.

the polish comes out brighter and depending on where you purchase your rims the 2 piece really isn't that much more. also stronger for everyday driving....although that is strictly if your going larger. 17's would be fine.
