Default The UPS truck came today bearing goodies

Like my repro steering wheel, $175 shipped:






And my 17x8 Cragar SS 610's, $675 shipped including lugs & valve stems:






I had 17x9 610's on my 93 TA & they looked real sharp.
I didn't feel like buying a bump steer kit & offset trailing arms to make them fit (they 'just' touched the outside of the trailing arm & the outer tierod) so I sold them & got the 8's.

255/50's will grace these wheels & I think I'm going to go with the Riken Raptors as I had them before, good traction, even in the rain, & quiet.
Also, only $143/tire mounted & balanced.

The other 2 choices were the Fuzion ZRI, had them once as well, not bad, $179/tire, M/B, or the Kumho ASX, $188/tire, M/B.

The car is going in for paint in 2 weeks & if weren't for my emergency appendectomy a month ago (I owe $1476 out of $12,989), I'd be taking advantage of the sale at Wilcox for an interior.

I'll keep you all posted with pics during these stages of making it look nice again.

Those wheels are going to look killer. Dont forget to post pics when they are on. By the way you guys need a health care program. Sometimes I guess we take things we have for granted.

Where did you buy the Cragars? That's a great price considering I've seen the 610's in 17x8 for over $200 a piece.
