Before and after pics
Tell me what you think I liked the old hot rod look it had but I think the new look is awesome as well.
Hope you enjoyed them.

I pick the new look. Very nice choise of wheels. I also prefer the advantages modern low profile tires provide.

This is what you need to be looking at 
not the wheel you posted yesterday. 
See how nice this car looks? 
Good luck in your search. I hope this thread helps you to decide what would look nice on your car.

Ok here we go,
First off thanks for the great complements I really dig the new set up as does everybody I drive by,
even had a few people fallowing me around town, Kind of weird and disturbing.
Any how the wheels are Boyd Codington junk yard dogs. It took 15 Weeks to get
these which I felt was way to long, never the less they do make the car look great.
Tires are Toyo T1r's
Front 245 45 17 on 17x8 rims with a 4 inch back space.
rear 285 40 18 on 18x10 rims with a 5.5 back space.
Front of car was already lowered when I got it but I think its been lowered 2".
Rear of car I lowered 2" with 8" bolts and narrowed the spring by 3" I also had to
remove the rear sway bar, I will be modifying it and putting it back on.I also relocated the
parking brake bracket from the side of the control arm to the top.
I have not had any rubbing issues on the front or back.
I hope to get some real nice shots of the car in a more picture like setting
and when I do I will post them.
