Wouldn't this be a sweet combo.

I'm trying to convince my friend 84 custom how bad *** this would look on his car. Whatcha all think...

Wouldn't either of these wheels with in 19's, with a lip in the back and about a 3'' in the front, black chrome, with black insides

If these wheels were available at the time omg they would look sweet on my car.






Have this look in the back with a 3-4" Lip
REAR


I love this new Boze "Friction" wheel would be badd *** on his car!

FRONT

That combo does look great. You don't see black/gunmetal on thirdgens very often, let alone on a black thirdgen.

I just ordered the Styxx in 18x8 black powered for the front of my Bird and am getting the Deep Lip black powered for the rear in 18x9. It may be a while since I am gonig 2 at a time(kinda broke)but hopefully it is worth it in the end. I may just put my Boyds on my bird and put the Boze on the Roc instead since the Rock is getting painted in all black. So we'll see.

perhaps.

seems a strange comment, though, considering they cover up the old wheels - which were already 17 to begin with.

he also made reference to a 9" width ...

very puzzling.

This is a photoshop I made for the photoshop contest with one of those wheels..

I re-edited the picture so the wheels aren't blurred..

Exactly that x 1000....


Man, Idk, but I don't see too many ppl using tt2's on a car that has that special stance down in here, sadly though your car with tt2's quickly became inspiration for me.

GR and he last two photo shops were badd ***! I think it looks awesome!

I was just playing around with the idea. When I seen that wheel on Boze I imediatly thought of a black 3rd or 4th gen with those. I was just using 84's car because he was looking for rims and thought that would be a great sweet. Thought I would kick around the idea. Gr' that photoshop looks so badd ***! Great job.

Steve I was only kidding...The only thing strange about that was how small the wheels looked on that. Its no big deal I was just playing...

What would really look sick would be those wheels and then some nice brake rotors all the way around with some nice callibers. ie. Baer, Wildwood...

Yes he should...That looks freakin awesome! Looks very classy, unique, and doesn't have chrome dubs like every other yahoo.

Brings the car into the 21st century.

Those black wheels are amazing looking wheels.
