I actually think the combo with the ride height makes it look more like a race car, looks alright i'm not a fan of the wheels i do like the earnhardt color combo of your car.
How those skinnys handle with ruts and what not

I had a set of 16 inch rs rims on it before and I actually like how the skinnies ride much more, they're very smooth the only disadvantage is taking turns a little slower

Yes. Looks brand new from 10-15 feet away on the drivers side, looks like something out of a junkyard on the other. Anyone got a passenger side door which happens to be white they wanna donate?

I have to admit that I always liked those wheels on the earlier third gen cars - they were more or less the only aftermarket wheels (before 16" was popular) that made the car look good on 15's.
Did you weigh them before you stuck them on - I'm curious how much they reduced rotating mass?

Sweeeeet but i'm a little partial my car is an 84 that originally came with the t5 and the exact same color scheme. The only difference is mine now has a 6 in cowl hood, and is totally stripped out for the 1/4.

The cowl on mine is a bond on, i'll try to get some pictures of it posted, doesn't look the best right now, still in primer and fiberglass. Wish that i would have went with the complete hood.
