New wheels for the Formula

After looking for years I finally bit the bullet and got a set of crosslace wheels I always wanted a set for the IROC but now that I have the Formula and the stock rims really need refinishing it was a perfect fit. Here is a pic from last year with the old rims and one with the new ones.







The car is really dirty in that pic but it gets the idea across.

This is the car I got the wheels from. Picked up this 89 Formula L98 for $350 as a roller. She's a looker ain't she?





Doesnt look like much but it has a disc 9 bolt rear end with 3.23's, brand new Alston subframe connectors, 140mph speedo, decent t-tops, poly rear sway bar frame bushings and end links, a working headlight module, new KYB shocks & struts, the crosslace wheels of course and decent Toyos on the back and new Potenzas on the front. All this stuff is going onto the 91 and then I'll either sell off or scrap the shell. If anyone sees anything they need or wants the shell let me know.

Re: New wheels for the Formula

i love the formula man, get some tire shine on there though

did you just have a jack under the front end in those pics? front end looks pretty high, i know on these cars after you lift them the suspension stays slightly camber-ed and raised when u let it down.

I think its the angle of the lot where its parked that makes it look like its sitting high in front. These were just some quicky pics. Ill get better ones soon.
