thanks guys

yeah the car needed some better wheels , i will be running wider tires in the future, i opted for these sizes because i didnt want any rubbing issues, i think i can go 265/4017 in the rears and 235/40/17 in the front, what i will do is run these till i grab my drag radials -falken 615 for the ears and run the 915 in the front

the car handles way better with the 17s than the 18s i had ,100 times, i am happy with the wheels they are exactly what i needed i didnt want some brand new 2008 flasy wheels that dont flow well with the car i wanted some old school wheels with attitude

thanks for all the comments guys i will update as soon as i can

that looks great! I dig the superclean engine bay.

Any pics of a rearend shot? I'm not much for bodykits but I do like the look of this one. I dont want anything crazy though, this one is clean, but I think I'm not too fond of the rear. Got any rearend shots to convince me otherwise?
