Who Owns This Car

I saw this car on ebay a while ago and I was wondering if anyone knew how I could contact this person? I don't know if I'm posting this is the correct spot. I don't know if there is a way to seach completed items on ebay from months ago. But if anyone knows who owns this car, please post. I want to get exact wheel and tire specs from them. THANKS

the wheels do not even fit the car right and you would like to duplicate it?

check out any of the mainstream wheel companies such as weld, centerline, etc. and you should have no problem finding a similar style wheel that will bolt up with zero complications.

just do a bit of research..

I don't understand what you mean by "the wheels do not even fit the car right" ? I know the wheels are Weld Racing Draglites. 15x8 rear and 15x3.5 front, but I need to know backspacing and offset as well as tire size, that's why I was asking. It looks as if they fit great!!

Maybe he meant they don't look good with the car.

That's cool MaNiAk86. I think they look good too. I think it gives the car a drag car look. I just wanna make sure I am getting the correct sizes & measurements because I want it to appear identical to the one in the picture. And I know lots of tire and wheels sizes will fit and can definitely change the look dramastically.

15x8's will need a 4.5" backspacing. it appears that the guy in the pic above is using a 275/60/15 tire out back and one of the 165/r15 series tires up front.

Some of us prefer the drag look as opposed to the 18" bling bling! Sidewalls Rule!!

I like the Draglites, it is not the wheel for my car, but I would rather have them than 18" chrome. I think 15" or 16" wheels with a 50 or 60 series look better.

You say the rear has a 4.5 backspacing, what about the front. Do you know the offset or bs on the front wheels? What is recommended, because I doubt they will be the same as the front. What if I went with 15x6 or 15x5's in the front, what bs & offset woud be ideal? thanks

I've used 15 x 5's with 3.5" bs. No problems at all & with that offset it still looks like a 3.5" rim. It also gives you a little more confidence that you won't roll a tire off the rim while taking corners at any great speed!
