"Katrina" Victim

Darryl---what is the size and back spacing of your rims? i really like these rims but i cant believe the fronts are more than the rears!! thanks. Len

Len,
The fronts that you looked at are the big doll one piece units. They are not the same as on the pic. The one piece should be about 430.00 !!! The 2 piece fronts should be 1/2. Rears 340.00 or so.

 

[Louie L.]

Whew, just rechecked they are 311.00 for the 2 piece ! and 390.00 for the 2 piece rears...WOW

They do look cool...

Hey Thanks guys, but Rita put me back under water again this weekend. So that set me back at least another two weeks or more before they let us back in that section of the city, witch is the 9th ward.The rear wheels are 15 X 10 with a 6'' BS, i'm using a 1/2'' billit spacer. the reason for the spacer is i like 5- 1/2'' spacing, seems to put the rim right in the middle of the wells. But it's very hard to find a 10'' wheel with a 5-1/2'' BS. I also notch my rails in the rear.

I was in that area shortly after Katrina. Stayed at Jackson barracks with my National Guard unit for ~3 weeks doing security and searches. I wish you look in rebuilding, the area was really hit hard.

darryl---what size tire do you have on the back? i wonder with the mini tub if i can get away with the whole 6 inch bs.?

 

[turbodarryl]
