GREAT looking wheels and car!!!!!! Are those repro's? If they are did you notice any difference in handling and/or performance? I have heard that repro's add weight. Is this true?

Thanks,
Rich

Hey Rich, thanks for the comments, they are repro's. I was only able to drive home and a little around town last night due to bad weather around here....again. From what I was able to tell, the ride/handling/performace is pretty much the same. It does drive a little bit differnt, but I havent had enough time behind the wheel to tell if its for the good or bad - Im guessing I will adjust just fine. Not sure about the weight, going up in size I would expect more weight, but not sure if I would really notice that either (maybe adds 10-20lbs???). Guess Ill have to do another performance mod to make up for my weight gane

(did someone say headers)

The wheel/tire combo looks great. A couple of questions for you. Do you know who the wheel manufacturer is? Is your car as stock ride height?
Looking at the same wheel/tire size for my AE convertible.

Thanks
