Thread: Got more new wheels...

    Well I was thinking about doing the roll bar when I get it, and a (low) rear spoiler a wing type but one that is very low and small, and a front radiator cover for the air dam, valva cover and intake all in the same color.

    But first my next project after lowering the car and the shocks will be single tip exhaust (roadster sport), Midpipe (goodwin), and Power Pulse header(Racing Beat).

    Maybe I can get a sponsorship from Orange Crush...lol

    One thing is for sure, you'll never lose it in a parking lot.

    Different strokes for different folks, It's not quite what I would have done, but if it makes you happy, more power to ya.

    I got them from Discount Tire and they were between 90. and 100., there were so many changes it got confusing.
    However I have seen them all over for around the same price.

    Thinkin about getting a set?...lol

    They are lightweight that was another factor in buying them. I have a corner weight of around 30lbs. now, I can tell an improvement in steering response...it feels tighter and responds more quickly.

    Maybe itsa ll in my head but it sure feels that way to me after I picked up the car.

    No offense...

    But if they were cheaper I would have picked up a set and had them bead blasted and powdercoated silver... perhaps black... no, silver... okay, gunmetal... nah... silver... black... no, no gunmetal.


    Yeah, gunmetal.



    I think.

    also as mentioned above they are a very close match to Flik Fuel in the color RED which is a store brand of a Florida based Company I dont remember what the price is on those, they are at www.edgeracing.com
    if you wanna look them up, they have the split spokes also.

    Why not do different color wheels at each corner?

    It certainly has personality. And no, I will not trade you my red seats! :P

    Just when I thought your car couldn't get any more "interesting"...

    I like making a car unique but going with a balance as well.

    IMHO, you have WAY to much going on as it is without the wheels.

    You asked!

    just kinda staring at it for awhile, was curious how that would look.

    and yes that's the worst photoshop job ever done by man.

    not the asthetic route i would have taken, but congrats on the new wheels.

    by the way, are those flames and stripes vinyl or paint?

    If I recall from the ads for the car, the stripes were paint & the flames were vinyl...
