Here's my current setup soon to be replaced with Centerline Rev wheels thanks to pictures of Todd Kay's car!!! Same tires but going 15 x 8" in the rear with 4" backspace.

I agree. they look like magnum 2.0 wheels but polished vs. gold. that is a hot wheel

 

[2QUICK2B6]

weld magnums are alot lighter

weld magnums are alot lighter

no doubt. kick ass wheel but not very pothole friendly, i have the pro series trac stars that im sure are just as bad if not worse.

moog 5658 springs. dont remember the rear spring number. New body bushings also.

I have some black GTA rims laying around and like what you did. Question though, how long are your wheel studs front and rear? Could you have gotten away with no spacers in the back and maybe 1/2" spacers in front to avoid rubbing?

I have have 16x8 GTA on my car with on spacers... No rub

Do you have the backs on the front of the car, or did you go to the trouble to get 4 fronts? What size tires do you have?

I may just go the spacer route because these rims look sooo much better when they're not tucked in so far.

This was a great idea. I was wondering when someone was going to set up a thread like this... The only questions I have are:

1. Would it be possible to post the wheel weights as well. Some of these rims are prety big and I'm wondering if they are super heavy or just look like they weigh a ton?

2. Would it be possible to get some sort of price paid per wheel (retail or sale prices are fine) or for the whole set-up so that the rest of us poor tr guys can at least have a realistic idea of what we can actually afford? Not meant to be nosey, more for a reference guide.

I know scot w., posted in another post the price of just the rims... - Too rich for my blood but super nice nevertheless.

I'd post mine but it's all stock crap...
