Default Wheels Spacers & tires

I picked up a set of Ron's wheels. I think they look great and you can't beat the price for a quality 3 peice wheel. Where is the best place to pick up a set of the 1/4" wheels spacers. Also I am looking for some tires to put on them. The car is only driven in the spring and summer with no drag racing but I do push her up way into the 3 digit speed limit almost every weekend. I would like to do 335 on the back and 275 or 285 on the front. I'm way over my budget this year for the car so I'm not looking for PS2's unless I don't have a choice. Thanks

Carter, I'm going to go with another set of your bad azz center caps for the new wheels. I got so many compliments from the last car show I entered. I want these to look as good as the ones on my Kinesis wheels. We need to talk I might have some winter projects for you. I lost the CT address, I beleive it is 200 Palestine Rd somewhere in Texas. Let me know. I want to ship out one of the Shelby caps to you to get you started. Might as well make up some spacers at the same time, that way I know i'm getting a quality peice made in the good ol' US of A

rickyrj1,

I switched my fronts today back to the way they came in the box. I think they actually look and fit better. You get the deep dish look back and you won't need the spacer's. Take a look...






Cheers,
Ron

I'll PM you with the address and glad you are getting compliments on the car and the center caps. You did a great job with them. I'll include the phone number so we can discuss the winter projects and anything else you need custom made. Looks like Ron may have figured out some magic with the wheels so no spacer is needed but if so let me know and I'll whip out a set of billet ones for you. If you need them thinner or thicker let me know
