agreed, there is no way to tell if they are fc or fb wheels. from that distance anyway. but it looks the same size as the 'vert. so i think it's fc. also the fb behind that one has meshies

ray, do you have a larger version of this pic?

The wheels on Romulo's orange SA are actually retrofitted mustang wheels, he picked up the set used for $100 and had a friend adjust the holes a bit. On a new set of Falkens they look really good:



More photos of last Tuesday evening's OGTA get together:

So wait, what exactly are the front and what are the rear? I'd really love to know the specs of the front and get a set.

You know the rims on Romulo's SA look an awful lot like those 'vert wheels right beside it, but he said they were mustang wheels. The front and rear are the same, he just had the hub off the left rear wheel to show us the mounts. I'll have to get Rom on the phone and get the details.



Here's a better shot of the spoiler, I'll get the scoop on that too:



And what the heck, a few more pics from Tuesday:

GA Wheels

The wheels are 15 x 7, drilled 4 in 100mm and 108mm originally, a friend of mine step drilled to 110mm. We also use hub centering rings.






The rear spoiler came from Aeroworks in CA.

Ahhhhhhhhh, right, Nice 7 Pic by Brett Linton, master photographer! I'm just trying to get you some press Brett.

Wheels and spoiler by Romulo, master rotorhead. Every time we see that gold SA it's got something new that looks real good.
