Re: My new wheels (96GrandSport)
Tell you what, those wheels were a hit at work. Everybody kept looking at the boxes wondering. Finally as I was parking my truck, my buddy Mike tears into te boxes and says,"Hey they look great!" I say, "Thanks for waiting for me a-hole!"
Soon as I got home, I put them on, so we'll have to wait till the morning for some dayshots.
FYI, the 11"rims with the 315 tires weighed in at 52 lbs and the 9.5" with the 275's weighed in at 51 lbs.
The stock 9.5" with 285's weighed 47 lbs and the 8.5" with 255's weighed 46 lbs.

Re: My new wheels (Mr Mojo)
Great looking wheels, hope you are happy with the tires though. I have 'em, used to love them till I tried to drag race with them. They are not what I was hoping for. They do handle well in the corners and wet roads pretty well though. It will look great on a torch car. :yesnod: :yesnod:

Re: My new wheels (Danger Dave)
To be perfectly honest, I don't think I like the tires. They are over an inch wider than what I had, but spin much easier. I like my Michelins. Looks like I'll have to do some burnouts so I can go get new tires!

Re: My new wheels (Danger Dave)
I'll have to find out from my tire guy. The last time I looked at Tire Rack, they didn't even have my old sizes.

REDGAR had 315 Yoko's on his '94. They seemed to be alright.

Re: My new wheels (Mr Mojo)
Here are some day shots. I've found out thatit is very hard to photograph a car with dark wheels.
