Re: New Wheels for my Z
Yes I have matching rears I just got tires for the rears so they are at the wheel place getting mounted. They are 18x8 245/40 in front and 18x9.5 285/35 on the rears. I liked my draglites too, but there aren't any close drag strips locally to put them to good use so I decided to go with more handling since there is a race track close by and a place that does time trials close by so that's what prompted the change in wheels.
Ill put more pictures up when I get the rears on.

Re: New Wheels for my Z
Are you gonna add a spacer so that you can run a center cap, or find something else to cover up the dust cap?
I was looking a getting a set of those BOSS 338's for my s10, and dust cover was the only problem.

Re: New Wheels for my Z
Actually the ones in my sig are discontinued they are Weld Racing Draglites they weigh like 8lb's each; the ruber on them weighs more actually. They were like 180 new or somthing like that.
Here is a picture when they were new...

Re: New Wheels for my Z
Man those are nice. I would like to get some. But in 17s. 18s are just too big for my taste but those bad boys are nice. Where did you get them?

I got them from JD Wheels they are Boss 338's 18x8/18x9.5 staggered set he only sells them in 18's and 20's though. I paid like $760 shipped for 18's which I thought was a awsome price!

Re: New Wheels for my Z
Great choice of wheel for your Z! The color really match your car very well. Perfect lip, great stance, love seeing the 82-84 Z28's with bigger wheels. 1000X better than the other wheels!

Re: New Wheels for my Z
Yes, both the fronts have a small tire bubble.. I have replacements in my garage for the front those tires you see mounted their were free(fronts) and I didn't know it had that bubble till I mounted them.
