Those are american racing wheels 15 inch, looking to change them out
in the spring for some 18 inch. Those wheels are partly what got my
attention, they give the car a classic look.

Congrats man, nice ride. PB is freakin out lately. You might have do a right click on the IMG. code and select copy instead of just clicking and it automatically copying like it used to. That's what's happened to me. Started with all the theme backgrounds they're doing.

Nice looking car. If I were you, I might just be thinking about those same wheels, just a slightly bigger size if I wanted bigger. I think those wheels look sweet on that car.

Hey, don't worry about it not having chrome bumpers. I can guarantee you, my rubber bumper Vette rides just as ruff, and rattles just as much as any chrome bumper Vette out there.
