Red 73, your Vette looks great! Very impressive. I can tell you put some thought into what results you wanted.

I've posted allot of pics of my car lately so I was trying my best not to get in this one. I didn't want to over do it. Well I can't stand it anymore.
My new wheels, a Christmas present to myself.

What is the make of the wheels? Tork Thrust II? Also, could you quote the rim widths of the front and rear wheels?

Thanks

Red 73,
Do you ever get tired of the wheel questions, Your car has become the
staple for what a cool ride should look like. A person would have to be
crazy not to like your set up, It is one of the best looking vettes out there.
Riggs.

Some beautiful Vettes in this thread. My best friend recently got a 73 with a 454. I'm going to email him this link.

Red73...... Excellent job on your car. What Back-spacing and offset did you use for those rims? Were there any clearance issues? You using original or offset training arms?

Sorry about all the questions. Your car has to be one of the best out there. Again... Great job!!
