New shoes
I picked up the rims today, ASF polished 17X9.5 for the front and 17X11 for the rear. Means I will be moving my FSWO 285/40s to the front and putting Sumitomo 315/35s on the rear.
I will be posting the present 255/45s and all four sawblades in the for sale section next week once I get all the swapping done. The tires in the picture do not stay with the rims, but are also for sale by someone else.

Sheesh you win a show trophy and go berserk! That thing is going to be a garage queen! With nearly 200k!
Those look real good Andy. I want to hear how the fat meat handles.
Let's ride.

I took it thru the twisties on hwy 108 and I can really tell a difference. It was really good before, now what a difference. It hugs those corners like it was on rails. I put my rail mounted fuel pressure gauge on yesterday too. All readings exactly to spec. Tomorrow the new windshield gets put in (courtesy of 1 dump truck and State Farm).
Weather stayng nice, we should get together ala Hooters again soon.

Looking good.
I'm partial to those wheels, although I have the chrome units.
Looks like you have some work to do to the rotors and calipers, now that thw whole wide world can see them.
Here's what I did;

Duplicolor Hi-temp Ceramic Caliper paint kit-$16.00 at Autozone, and rustoleum High Temp Black on the rotors. The Caliper kit from Duplicolor has enough paint to do at least 3 sets of calipers, did the vette and my daughter's Sunfire, still have enough left to do another set.
