Finally have my new wheels on the car. I've had the front wheels for a few weeks but the rear wheels were stuck on backorder.
Finally caught a long enough break from this crappy cold weather to put them on and take some pictures.
Yes, they're steel. No, I don't care. Before everyone tears into me, here's a Car Craft article detailing the limited benefits of lighter wheels.
Light vs Heavy Wheels
Lighter wheels, worth 0.1 second and 1mph. And I have no immediate plans to go to the track anyway.
The rear wheels stick out a bitttt far, they might look a bit goofy. But I think it would have been goofier to notch the frame on a street car just because I want huge tires.
Coolest part is that the stock center caps fit... :smile:
Front
Rear
Car
Needs to be washed, and still need to tint the rear window...
Looks like the car overdosed on bad attitude. I'm happy.
And yes, for those of you who have been contacting me about the 18" wheels that I'm getting rid of, they'll be ready soon. Have to clean them up, take pictures, figure out how the heck I'm going to ship them, etc. But they will be sold...I have no room to store them.
