CCW wheels on
The18x12's are just about flush with the top of the quarter but the 305 M/T radials don't have a rim protector bead which would have made them look wider
Finally bolted up my wheels. No cleaning or polishing yet, just wanted to see how they fit
Car hasn't been moved and suspension hasn't settled. Will be maki a a call to aFe this week to see if they can help me with my coil overs

can't go wrong with 505a's... I love mine too but have thought about selling them and getting some forgelines due to more size options

I would have been perfectly happy with T10's they were on my radar too. Appreciate all the comments. But as you all know, pictures can be deceiving, and while these wheels are nice I will have to put in some serious time to bring them up to the standard of most here.

My "one day" finally came. The chase is part of the fun and the "score" makes it sweeter. I would like to have bought new wheels and tires but just not in the cards. Other than gas and one set of tires everything I have done to my FRC has been with "previously used parts", but that's ok, an improvement is an improvement

Someone is getting a pristine set of wheels there. And yes I am going to have to stock up on supplies.
Hey what happened to your wheel picture or did I just dream I saw them??
