Are you eventually going to remove those spacers?

You have plenty of room for some wide wheels there!!

I don't think he will. The rims he has on there are very rare from what i've been told. and they look awesome on his FB. But I've heard differant things about spacers, so maybe. I have first dibs on those rims if he does sell and go with another route.

I REALLY like my rims... I've only seen them twice.. on my car and someone in Florida.
I would switch to 4x114.5 if I was planning on getting different rims... 4x110 is a pain in the @$$ as i'm sure you all know

These aren't just plate-spacers like you see on ebay or JC Whitney. They are 100% custom machined to my specs and measurements. Screw in studs, bolt- & hub-centric spacer with pressed in studs for my wheels. I'm not a fan of spacers... so, I figure if i'm gonna use them, they're gonna be DAMN stout!!

I would keep those rims if I were you, but If you ever deside to sell them let me know for sure. Looking good. but I kinda liked the multi color and bondo scheme. JK.

just to make it clear, i must state that there is a HUGE difference between types of micro glazing, and laquer glazings and BONDO..... There is incredible differences in the chemical makup of the two and the application of the two... Just to clear things up.....

sorry about that. bondo just fit in the sentance better. and get off my bondo. it works as long as you don't try and mold parts together with it though. it doesn't like that.

No I may put both in avatar soon, but for now I gotta show my FB some love since I havent been driving her. and she was my first seven. I plan on having her in primer for next summer. I don't want to paint it untill Its finished and ready. Theres soo many small dents, but all the major stuff I fixed when I first got it. but ding here ding there.

Just wait till I finish my FB suspention drive train. its gonna be a quick responsive beast. I'm gonna be running poly bushings Re speed coilovers, R&P 15:1 kit, panhard 3 link, camber kit, lightweight flywheel, 4.44 gears.. If I can get the money over the next summer next winter motor will be rebuilt and street ported. I think she'll keep up just fine.
