Complete custom wheels - classic, 3 piece

17x10 up front - Nitto 555's - 275/40/17

17x12 out back, nitto 555R drag radials - 315/35/17




I have been thinking about eventually getting some diamond racing wheels and throwing some slicks on them. We will see if that ever happens though.

Not soon enough. Still the same issues are plaguing me, things that aren't extremely difficult just set backs and minimal time to work them out at this point.

trying to change my bolt pattern so i can put 17X6.5 Konig feathers rear will be wrapped in 245 or 255 and the front will be wrapped in 225 i think for when i get it done at least. i just like the feathers in the bronze with the color my car is i think they kind of go together. when the wide body gets done the wheels will be even larger.
