Yeah I'm not really a big fan of the rims either..... the spokes come right out to the lip, just doesn't look right when a widebody should have a wicked offset rim.

I dont know if you can get it thru tripoint still, I have never seen/found it on their site.

RaceOnUsa sells replicas of them on ebay from time to time, used to be "3-point kit" and more recently has been sold as the "type 338 kit"

I love the tripoint widebody, its hard to beat a set of 295s up front and 335s out back on an FC! wow!

14.5 is pretty big. The widest I know of right now is the tripoint and the custom one that juiceh is running.

yeah 12" is pretty common for wheels on the tripoint setups, but I dunno if juiceh can run 2" wider than that, of course a 13" wheel will fit a 14.5" tire, sort of...

that was a custom 1-off front bumper, actually they made a few, but they are long gone.

and a tripoint set of front and rear fenders
dont know the hood, that may be from the same guy who made the front bumper.

unique, kinda weird too, never really liked it.

"87 turbo II"; any info on the makers of the kits pictured on the first and/or last FC you have pictured??

Tri-Point no longer offers their wide-body kit for the FC, and thats a cryin' shame cuz i certainly did want one...or two...

I really do like the way those rear flares work into the doors in 87 turbo II's pics (1st & last cars pic'ed), with my luck, they're JDM items...

LOVE the way the rear flares extend into the door on the red FC above, and again on first page; as well as the blue FC...not sure about the vent in the blue rr flare though...
