Needless to say I'm a happy camper after the 270-buck lug fabrication. These rims are magnesium Speedlines from Italy and donated to Tim Allen's Saleen Daytona Mustang in '96. No idea what they're worth, since they aren't *cough* street legal*cough. Rotors are Stillen Cadmiums with stock calipers and Brembo pads. Eibach Pro kit (1.5" drop) with Bilsteins. Car was showcased in August '97 Superstreet mag.

Those wheels are VERY nice!!!! Show off your brake rotor/calipers very well.

 

 

what makes them not street legal?

 

Not DOT-approved or tested, being racing wheels. Cruser, let's see your "tax-refund" wheels.

 

Right now they are sitting in my living room so I can stare at them. They are going on the car tonight once I get off of work, then my friend and I are installing the lowering springs and struts on Tuesday. Before you ask, I am not doing it all at the same time because #1 I am not able to change out the springs myself (not smart enough ), #2 A guy is buying my old wheels once I get off of work tomorrow. I will try to get some pics up after installing the springs so people don't give me **** about it needing to be lowered .

can you tell us about the wheel/tire size and the offsets?? thanks.

 

Real Magnesium ...those puppies are light.

1.5" drop, hey watch out for that speed bump (or was that supposed to be "tree") LOL

 

Nice ride, this is the fist time I see your car.

 

looks good. are the offsets from a mustang that close to the fd? no problems with fitment, or did you have to change the spacers/rings?

 

No fitment issues and it was a bolt-on. Off-set is almost identical and no spacers required. 9" width with 285/35-18 Michelin Pilots rear and 245/40-18's in the front. Yes front 40's... JoeD(SupraJoe) already razzed me about the front plus-sizing a year ago, but the FD came with them and until I wear them down it's not worth the change, but duly noted. Minor rubbing on full-lock driveways, but otherwise ok with the fenders rolled.

 

Nice looking wheels. I hear 255/35/18 front and 285/30/18 rear fit better. They are almost exactly stock diameter.

 

nice man!
