Show that when some of us would like to see the ZS setup on your car

Maybe I am biased since my 1990 looks like yours... with less paint... and peeling factory wheels... and near-stock equipment.

Peace,

I have a shot of your ride as my desktop at work, and every so often I hear something like "So and so needs... Hey, is that your car?" Then we both forget the request due to the usual "No, but close. I just need wheels, paint and another hundred plus horsepower." "Oh, really? How are you going to do that?" "Well,..." heh

Tks for the pic Tom, peace.

i love all these rims and think that everyone has GREAT taste in rims for their 3rd gens, but i think on my Formula im gonna stay mostly stock. as of now i have the convex turbo techs on my car (factory equipment) and i want the concave (89-later) turbo techs. i LOVE the design of these wheels and think they make a Formula look MEAN!!! but Zephyr, you are really turnin me on to the 4th gen WS6'ers!!!!

I bought a set 87/88 style Formula wheels for $50 and a set of later 88-92 Formula wheels for $100...

p.s. no they are NOT for sale. I only have rears left for the late style wheels tho. With 2 Formies, I need them just in case...

Screeminfomula,
There is a local guy here that has some referbed ones for $75 each. (The late style dished)

The Timeless rim from Boyd if a bad *** rim. I've seen them on one 3rd gen before, it was online somewhere. He got the 16's with hue sidewalls so they didn't look right, but they are sweet, they were my second pick to my new ones.

I like just about rims that is 17 inches or bigger.....I'm not against the 15 and 16 inch rims though! I just think third gens look alot more aggressive with 17+ rims
