New wheels and skins
Just got new wheels and tires put on so I thought I'd post a picture. They didn't turn out to good because my camera battery was almost dead. I'll post some better ones when I get some.

Thanks. Ya the pictures suck bad. As soon as it stops snowing in this frozen wastland we call Alberta, I'll pull it outside and snap some decent pics.

thats a very weird angle there. Looks like you photoshopped those wheels and tires on there haha. It looks like there is no width to the tire.

OK, here's a better pic of the wheel at least. Hopefully the frickin snow will vanish by the weekend so I can get it outside.
The wheels are Eagle Alloy 211, which are identicle to Torq Thrust II wheels, but much cheaper. Rims 17x8, tire are Comp TA's 245-45's. I didn't actually see the wheels other than on a computer before I went to pick the car up, but the pictures on the web don't do them justice!!
Next on the list is a set of those nice coated Hedman Hedders that ACS sells. Or dropping the car an inch, I can't decide which to do first. Suggestions??
And hey, no laughing at those tiny little stock disks either!! Replacing them is on the list too, but disks and calipers are to many$$ for me right now.

Awesome! I was trying to get 211s for my 95 formula, but they didnt have them in that offset. so i got 185s until i can get TTIIs.

midlifeman, a late welcome to the board 
Those rims look really nice, can't go wrong really. The style is popular but for good reason :rockon:

Thanks tpiroc. I've been more of a lurker than a poster since I joined. Figured I better learn a bit before doing any posting. This is an excellent board, with a pant load of great info. And all you guys are friendly, which is rare for a message board!!
