sneak peak, I have not picked up the front runners yet. these are 15x10 w/ 5.5 b/s...29 hoosiers quick time pro`s, the front are 15 x 3.5 1.75 b/s the moroso ds 2`s will be on the front soon in the 26" version. sorry the picture is dark, I`ll get a good one when the fronts are on!!

 

scott those rims look really good, nice to see something other than pro stars

I'm going to be swapping to 27 or 28" tires to bring up the nose a bit for off and on the trailer, that pesky chin spoiler likes to catch and drag on my brand new paint...

 

those are very nice how much did they run ya?

 

Right on. Nice wheels. I keep seeing them in magazines and wonder what they'd look like on a 3rd gen.

 

Thanks Steve, I can`t wait to get a good picture on the ground with the hoops on it ! Hey don`t you have pro stars ??

I caught them on sale sorta, backs were 180 and fronts 230, I was able to sell my other wheels to help fund these.

I was going to get the pro stars until I seen this guy`s web page

http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/gh_racing/index2.html

He had a few different sets on his and I loved the look of the pro stars until I seen his other wheels on the same car, I think they are amercian racing or centerlines but it was enough for me to say I did not want the pro stars.

 

yea i have pro stars, and if I didn't get such a great deal on them I would have gotten something more original.

 

Anybody else notice the hand controls?

 

man i absolutely love those wheels!!! i've been dying for a set like that, but i can't justify the money that they want for them. excellent choice though. for now, i'm just gonna stick with my rodlites...

 

Rodlites are pretty original, I never see them on a third gen! Thanks mw66nova!

"Anybody else notice the hand controls?"

Yea, I been trying to figure that one for a while

 

I don't get it.

Thats a nice car, I've actually seen it in person and talked to the owner. He's in a wheel chair, thats why you see the hand controls. The car looks just as good in person as in the pics, its one of the few big block thirdgens I've seen thats done well. I've been thinking about the M/T wheels too but can't justify the cost.

 

or how 'bout those new american racing Trak Stars...those look excellent...and you can never go wrong with any of the bogarts....one of these days, i'm gonna have a very nice set of super lightweight wheels...but it's gonna be a while.

 

Oh, that pisses me off… I tried to get a set around Christmas and was told that the offsets that would work are only available in a 5x5.5” bolt pattern so I was out o luck.

Get some better pictures up, I want to see how that backspacing really fits, what size tire is that?

 

Okay, I ordered the front tires, I went with the 28`s , got a good deal so next picture should have all the rubber on it, but for now heres a better set of them. tires are 29 x 12.50 dot hoosier quick time pro`s

 

how much ar those wheels, im going to be looking for a set for put my slicks on. was also thinking about the summit brand pro stars

 

I caught them on sale sorta, backs were 180 and fronts 230, I was able to sell my other wheels to help fund these.

 

sorta sale? holey smokes, you got a killer deal on them! normally those back wheels are like $280/ea or something!

 

my buddy just picked up 2 rears this weekend at the drag expo in IL for $260 for the pair, guy wanted $230 a pop for the fronts so he held off on ordering the fronts since that would be $460 for the pair of fronts

 

Those are some awsome rims! But my pockets only went deep enuff for welds

 

I almost got a set of those for mine,

There is a shop selling them on racingjunk. A pair 0f 4s and apair of 15x8's will run $779, including free shipping!

 

They sure look good. Thanks for the link

 

I bought 15x10's and 15x3.5's and they ran 799 with free shipping. These rims are now discontinued and he bought out the M/T stock. Summit and Jeg's don't even have the sizes anymore.

 

what BS rears did you get?

 

 

That looks soooo nasty!!! BTW nice tire choice

 

Those do look great on there! I ended up getting a good deal on some Rodlites, so thats what I'm running now.
