Finally got the new wheels on. *PICS*

Here's some crappy cell phone pictures of the new wheels on my car. I washed this thing in 32 degree weather for you people, so appreciate it! There's a few pictures of the sideswipe damage I mentioned in my other thread in there. It's not as bad as I thought now that it's clean, but there's definite damage to the sides of both bumpers, both fenders, side scoop and the headlight ever so slightly.

Here's the sideswipe damage, starting from the back going forward. Pictures came out like crap, since the sun would not cooperate with me.

Sorry about the quality. Still haven't gotten a nice digital camera yet. It's hard to see the creases in the fenders in these pictures, but they are definitely there. Aside from that crap, let me know what you think.

Damnit!!! I thought i was the only one with those rims..LOL!! JK...Looks sick.....



I suggest changing the centercaps to some SVT's & getting some black lugnuts, because it completes the look IMO... I hated the wheelreplicas centercaps... I actually wouldve prefered to put in a Bullit centercap, but when I tried they stuck out, so I settled for the SVT's.

Yeah, those Replica caps are as good as gone. THEY ALREADY HAVE WATER IN THEM! This is their first wash, and there's water in the replica logo. What crap! I think I'm going to get some stock Pony caps from a GT. I never considered the black lugnuts though. I think I'll have to spray my current ones. They shipped with my wheels, along with locking lugs and chrome valve stems, which I didn't have put on, because I thought they would look weird on a black rim.

Thanks for the comments, guys! It looks like I got alot of Laser red guys in here

I did notice something with these drag radials, though. THEY PICK UP ROCKS LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS! On the other hand, I can make neck pain in my passengers from all of the torque that actually gets to the ground now. Traction rules!

Yeah I got the same package deal with the lugnuts, only mine came with tires too...Crappy Sumitomo's though, but u cant beat 17x9 & 17x10.5's with 275's & 315's, mounted, balanced, & shipped for under $1000.... I didnt like how the chrome lugnuts looked on my car though, so I picked up these black ones instead...Not sure if u can spray the chrome ones, but its worth a try...

Did u get a different deal without tires??

I tried to fit my pony centercaps from the Mach & they stuck out & looked funny...I think the Bullit pony caps are the exact same ones??

2000Ford, we're gonna have to meet up somewhere for a photoshoot sometime. I think Sonic Blue and Laser Red would look badass together.

No cameras, unfortunately. The gas station was pretty much a shed with a pop fridge, chip rack, and Jay and Silent Bob.

And yes Epik, I got just the rims and the lugnut/stem package as a deal. I wouldn't have minded the Sumi's, but I really wanted to try some drag radials, especially since now after I get her fixed, I will be building up the rear end with 4.10s and a locker again. These KDWs in the front actually tramline WAY less than my Sumitomo 275s did on my last car.

thats too bad about about the cameras, at least youll get some fresh paint out of it though.

where do you think would be a good spot around here to do that? i need to do a little work on the car first though.
