Just need to get the 275/40/17 Tires mounted this weekend.
The TTA should look pretty good.

 

Awesome.

 

Thanks Franny! Just need to find out if I need to use longer studs in front due to the 1/4" spacer plate.

 

Very nice! Can't wait to see them on your car. What tire are you going with? BFG/Firestones on the low end are about 500-600 a set. Good Years and Michelins are about 1200 (ouch!).

Mine came in as well - couldn't pass up the sale price!!! I went with black, still debating on leaving them as is or painting them a different color like silver, white, gray, gold, etc.

 

Thanks! I have a brand new set (well 1 year old) of Firestone Indy 500 275/40/17's just sitting. I want to use those. I have Nitto 555 on the RamAir and the 30th. I would go with them, but I don't want the Firestones to continue sitting.

 

Have you checked stud length in front yet??

 

No, I'm actually 3 wheels behind you - I've only opened one box. First I've heard of stud length issues on these, though. The faces are very thin.

 

They look gorgeous! Interested to hear about stud length as well for future...

 

Nice Bob. Those rims were on my radar before I chose a different style.

 

Absolutely stunning, Good luck, your car will look great with them.

Which car are you putting these on Bob? GTA or the TTA?

 

Bob, what's the finish like on the lips and how consistent is it wheel to wheel?

 

Good deal! Wouldn't mind getting that for a "Christmas present" in July or anytime! Lol

 

Hey Chris. I'm putting them on the TTA. I think it'll look good.

 

I looked at that very close. All the finish on them all match perfect from paint to the machining of the lips. I'm pleased with them.

 

I really didn't NEED them, but the deal they were having I couldn't pass it up.

 

Are the shown prices on their website sale prices? if so anyone know regular prices?

 

Good question. I'm seeing $839.30 on their site today. Is that the sale price you paid?

 

4th of July sale, 20% off the $839.30. Shipping was a flat $100. That's why I picked up a set - for what they are, that sale was a great price.

 

wow what a deal!

 

That is a great deal.

If you don't mind my asking...how did you hear about it? After spending a fair amount of money for a rear spoiler and a few other odds and ends, I would like to think I'd be on any sort of mailing list they might have.

 

Instagram

 

Dave, They had an advertisement on their site. I also get their weekly or whatever emails about their sales going on. I had been watching those rims for about a year so when I seen the 20% off deal, I pounced! $770 to the door! Here is a picture of the Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500 275/40/17 mounted. I'll put them on the TTA this weekend.

 

Oh, and this cool 6'x32" GM banner my tire dude/mechanic gave me. He's a AC Delco GM Dealer. Pretty cool!

 

Bob, looking great! Do you have an angled view to show how squared the shoulders are on that size Firestone?

Dave, I heard about the sale on Instagram. They usually have a sale of some sort over 4th of July. Might be another over Labor Day or Christmas. Maybe you could even call them and ask to get in on it a few weeks late... worst they'll say is no.

 

Kurt, I did not take a shot of it. But as I was loading them in the Bronco, they where all standing up side by side and the do have a "square" appearance. I'll snap some later. No bulge effect, just "meaty" square??!!?? make sense??

 

OK, got signed up for the newsletter, which will have sale info in it.

Also spoke with Ryan. Powder coating in a matching Bright Red can be done...for a price.

Going to have to start skipping lunch or something.

 

Here ya go Kurt

 

love it

 

Right at 10 1/2" wide.

 

Meats!

 

Thanks Bob, tires look great! I have the same tires in 245/50/16. The 275 Firestones on 9" wheels look much better than my 245s on 8", which seem to have a more rounded shoulder. Can't wait to see them on the car.

 

Hey All! HAWKS is running a special till Sundayl on the 17" GTA Mesh wheels. $100 off!!!

 

Got them on the TTA this weekend. What a difference! I like em.

 

Wow!! Beautiful Bob.

 

Damn, that looks good!

 

Thanks Franny and Ryan! Totally changed the look, looks more stout. Feels more "meatier" on the road too!

 

Probably handles really well too!

Take Alf for a ride?

 

Yeah, need to find one! Handled nice on the short run I went on.

 

That does like great Bob. Congrats!

 

Looks awesome, Bob!

 

Awesome price on those shipped right to your door. Love em.

 

Awesome - came out great! Very subtle look. 8" wheels with 245s always looked a tad skinny on these cars, even if it did provide the best balance for the stock setup.

 

Wow that looks great!! Definitely agree with KMK454 on the 245s. Cant wait to get a set.

 

Outstanding

 

wow mint!
