Ok i really would like to get 18's int he back and 17's in the front. they have to be at least 9.5 wide. I know I will loose some off the line power witht he bigger rim. But thats ok. Just to look nice. What kind of rims in the $1,500-$2,000 price range would look killer on my car. If ya can put em on the car and let me see how they look. I was thinking of going with the tt2's but they don't make 18's. Help a brother out. This is also going to be a show car and a track car. I will ahve different rims for the track of course.

Yea I had the car painted last November. It is really dirty in the picture and needs to be wet sanded and compounded and polished. No wax on that car at all in the pic. I need the rims to be wider. I would love some wider Irco rims in chrome. but I havent found them. The paint it self would of cost me about $1,500 because of the 12 color Camelion color and the Custom House of Kolors Red. But it didn't cost me anything to have the car painted or the paint for that matter. It was a X-mas gift from my pops. He does body work. But something like that all custom in a reasonable shop goes for about $5,000-$6,000. Thats including engine bay and door jams and everything else. I am having the front of the nose redone cause some dick hit the car when it was parked. anything else i might be able to help with? Thanks for the rims. Need more though i need the car to stand out.

I like the way they look.

Wasnt tryin to come across *** an ******* just I see those on custom trucks a lot so I'm familiar with them. They are machined on the spokes too, so it has like 5 or 6 lines coming down on each one.

TT2's ARE available in 18's. It's what I plan to get on my car. For some reason though they don't list them on their website anymore.

Also, I've seen them with my own eyes on a Iroc, 18X9 all around and they look killer.

if I remember, Boyd's wanted $1100 for 17x9.5 and 17x11 so that sounds about right.

I still have to say that the FIKSE FM/5's are the way to go but I guess thats personal preference.

Ok here is another question. What kind of backspacing would i need for the Boyd Coddingtons Stingrays in 17X11 in the back and 17X9.5 in the front. Or the TT2's in 18X9.5 in the back and 17X9.5 in the front. So far it is between one of those 2. I like the ZR1 rims but I have seen to many cars with them. I tried getting my friend with a 99 Hardtop C5 get those for just a different set of rims. I really need help with backspacing on rims. And should I wait till my suspension work is done before I get them so they won't rub on anything? Any help with this would be great. OH AND SORRY ABOUT THE TOPIC BAS *** RIMS. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING, THEY MAKE THE LETTERS TO CLOSE TOGETHER.

I like those rims to but they are way to expensive for me right now. I rather spend the $3,500 on another project car then put that towards rims. Or even put that in my 88 TBI, Soon to be a 355 Carbed 5 speed.

I have the AC wheels on my replica cobra and absolutely love them. I think that either of them would look great on a thirdgen. I really like the Weld rodlites, but they only come in 15". I may just get the ETs (which look similar to rodlites) for my Formula.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...........those are beautiful. What did you say they were again? I tryed to go to your site, but the maintainance thing is goin on again . Once again, I love the car. By the way, how did you come up w/ the idea of the upside down spoiler on the front and back? That is ingenious.

Niche Serpents! They discontinued them about 6mo before I got them. Niche does not keep rim styles long. I guess thats good if you want to be more original, but bad if you mess up a rim.

I wish I could figure out why they do maintainance so often. Late afternoon till 7-7:30 Eastern time. I was originally going to go with yahoo, but had all kind of problems getting the pictures up there. Oh well, its a trade off I guess.

The spoilers... well, I was just sitting there looking at the car and wondering what I could do to update the gfx. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. I did some measuring and looked at how the underside was made. The design of the supports...the angles were just right to give a smooth transition between the 2. So off to the junkyard I went and liberated a spoiler off a soon to be crushed bird. After the rear was such a hit. I had to do the front piece.
