all those DR's are built extra wide ...here's a pic next to a regular 275 60 tire, the MT DR 275 on a 10 does not even show a reverse bulge because of the width.....btw have you guys seen the rims in my vid which now have been sold and new ones to be debuted right here in this thread about Feb 2011 happy boost'n

Here's the first set of alum GN rims ever made. I had them made by Budnik Wheels. Here's the whole story, http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/br...eels/320013-first-ever-alum-gn-rims-pics.html for those that are interested in more details.

Rear wheels are 8" with a 4 1/8" BS, wrapped with 275/60/15 MT DRs. I run the thicker alum drums. If I had thinner (stock) steel drums, I would have gone with a 4" BS. Front wheels and tires are stock (7") dimensions. Car is lowered 1" at all four corners. With all I've done to this sled, it handels and rides nice, wont bottom out, even with people in the back seat. It does 1.50 short times and doesn't look too shabby either.

Happy spooling.

They are cool, but I'd really like to see what they look like in 17"or 18"... we already have 15" wheels. So far I have yet to see a picture of them on a car, hoping they dont look too flat.

 

[nastynavy]

SPOOLFOOL2 your car looks spectacular with those wheels. They are close to the stocks but have just enough difference to really stand out and look great!

+100 dude.
This is one sharp looking finish.
Mind if I ask what the paint code is, and how it was applied?


I'm definitely doing that too mine when it gets repainted.

x2, looks bad ass... did you color sand it at all?

The flat black is badass, that's gonna cost me a new paint job, dammit

^^^^ hahaha !!!

 

[sackracing]

I've had it on my mind for a couple of years, but now that I've seen one, dammit.

I dunno if its just me or not, but I think GNs still look the best with the original rims (and the GTAs)..For some reason, all these aftermarket rims just dont look right on GNs

 

[CJ's6]

I think these look awsome!!!! ( on this GN)
