^hell yeah.

I really dig those. I'm going to have to find an image of a 4 eyed coupe with a 5 lug swap and those wheels....I know how they look with the Bullitt wheels, and I love that look...but these look like they would be even better.

I'd also like to see them on a Tbird...although I'm actually debating about going back to 4 lug on the bird and running the turbines.


I thought vinnie had a set on his tbird. I don't know if they're gennie or not, but they look good.

He did/does, but he's gone with a different style and his were replicas. Still look great though.
I didn't want chrome and I like the way the silver finish "sparkles".

Are the real Motorsport wheels forged? If they are, the weight difference and strength would justify the cost over the knock-offs.

So, does this mean reassembly begins soon? And no is not an acceptable answer.

I don't believe they're forged.

LOL. It might. I'm working on the little Tempo so I can sell it. I'm dying to get things going again but nearly 16hr days doesn't leave me much time on the weekends. :(

I was hoping that I didn't have to run a thin spacer. That's the tire size that's on the wheels now. But they are a little narrower than some other brands. I have some different bolts for the rear mounting bolts on the IRS just for a little added clearance.
