Re: Check out the new rims (Mag Red Monster)
The rims are actually made by Boyd Coddington Jr. Here is a pic of the wheel from there web site.
My wheels are 18's on all four courners. 265/40's in front and 295/35's in the rear. The tires are BFG KD's, very sticky tire. The tires do tend to hunt the road a bit if its not smooth and they trown stones when they are sticky.

Re: Check out the new rims (Mark V)
That is one :cool: looking car. The lowered stance along with the fatter wheels and tires really change the look of the car for the better. Looks like I'd better start saving my money! :jester

Re: Check out the new rims (rzuff)
rzuff,
The wheels were a little over $800.00 each. The nice thing is they are completly polished, even on the inside. Keeping them clean is still a pain in the butt :crazy: I might get them chromed in the future. :cool:

Re: Check out the new rims (Mark V)
Mark,
I'm curious about the sensor as well. Also, if it isn't asking too much, can you post a pic of a straight, not angled, profile of your car? I want to see what the wheels look like if you were looking at them dead on.
Solid choice. They look great!

Re: Check out the new rims (Knunov)
They do accept wheels sensors, in fact when I had them mounted I didnt have to reprogram the sensors. I thought that to be strange, but maybe thats not uncommon.
I will try and get a good side shot of the car, all the ones I currently have are facing into the sun. That makes for a nasty image.
