the price on the wheels was a lot better than I thought it would be they were as follows
front 19 x 8 = $550.00 ea. rear 20 x 10 = $558.00 ea.
the rear wheels are called 10" wide but lip to lip they are 11"
with shiping they cost me $2416.00 no tax included in this price.

Great price. Hey, what size tires do you plan on using? If I may suggest, I have 235/35/19 front on a 19x8 and is a excellent fit. Troyboy has 255/30/19 for his fronts on a 8" rim. Although, I don't have them, but a rear 325/25/20 is great. Granted 325 is one size up from my 305, but the 325 has more tire height. Just some food for thought. I hope it helps.

thanks for the imput on tire size Curly I was going to ask you about that.
I had to work late last night so I did not get a chance to even look at the car. hopefully I can sneek out a little early today and get some things
done on the car. I need to start making the buck for the rear tail light section and do some more work on the rear bumper.
I would like to have all the fiberglass work done by labor day except for the choptop part.
I talked to Archie and he has been so bussy that he has not had time to get the windows to me yet. with CTHC3 just around the corner I can understand.
but on the same hand that is a major part of the build I would like to get done soon.
I have come to the conclusion that my car will not make it to the run for the hills next mounth so it gives me a lot more time to work on it.
I may just take a friends Fiero if it is running at the time! haha!

That's what I have up front. A bit large for a non-widbody, but no fitment issues.[This message has been edited by jscott1 (edited 08-21-2008).]

if you have never heard of Bonspeed they are a custom wheel company from California that will make you a set of wheels any way you want them inc. powdercoating and other things. they will also make you a set of one off's if you want to spend the money.
one of the founders of the company is Mark Anthony from Van Hallen he is a car nut also so you know the wheels are going to be cool! |

That is pretty damn reasonable for a set of custom rims like that. Over here only a few companies exist that do custom rims and most of the start at $750 a piece upwards.
They look great

I was bussy donig other things this weekend so no updates as of yet but by this next week I should have made a lot of progress
on the Body. I would like to get it in primer the choptop will have to wait for a little. I am trying to get it slaped back together for the RFTH
but then it will be parked till it is done I will finish all the body and int. before I work on the motor that way I can drive it till the motor is done.
