My new wheels!
These are temporary, until I install the widebody kit later this year. I had a really badly bent stock rim, and these were a good deal.






They tuck under real nice, and drives great.
the really give the car the "Old Skool" look.

I already have Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs, and the rims don't have a polished lip.

Also, right now, The fuel pump is dangerously low.

Yes, Incredibly sticky.
No more losing control (fish-tailing) under acceleration.

No set ideas for the widebody..

Got pics of Edgars? Did he get rid of the pop-ups?
Or did he get something different.

Is his car finished (and running?)

P.S. = I want one of those shirts!

Did you use lug bolts or do you have a stud kit on your set up?

I put wheel studs onto my car and I am sure glad I did, I hate wheel bolts.

If you showed me the wheel off of the car, I would have said "no way!" but I would have been wrong.

They look hot dude!
