Yep..got my ZE-forged "Mesh" from Frank. The Boze-forged "pro-touring" is the same but without the rivets, and slightly cheaper. these are very similar to the Forgeline VR3P (thats what you got right Steve?). Maybe someday I'll grow up and be able to have big boy toys (you almost had my arm twisted into FL's Frank, maybe next time). I'll get some pics when I get them on the car. Should be just in time for the snow to be disappearing around here.

oops...nevermind Steve...I see I was WRONG!!! AGAIN!!!

I really like the dark center look, so i guess i have to buy atleast a 2 piece wheel.. i mean wont it look "el-cheapo" having painted centers on a 1 piece wheel??

im really torn between looks, FL zx3pb? mesh?? ill have to have my girlfriend or somebody that knows photoshop do a couple of photocrops before i can decide... what sizes are on bill howels?? have only seen pictures of his before he got the boze wheels (he sent me some pics to let me know i was building the exact twin to his car... so much for originality)

Howell is running Forgeline "premier" series wheels with a silver center.. not Boze :)

I think he's running 19's and 20s..

lol.. hell, I can't keep them straight either.. I have WC3s.. they are quite a bit cheaper than the VR3Ps..

hey, these wheels came with the car.. I just have them reworked.. and I'm broke as a joke.. :captain:

I dont think Bill got Boze on his Malibu. I know he talked about it though, so maybe I'm just slow and havent seen it yet. I think Frank was saying they used the same sizes as what Bill has. Anyway, I had 18x9 w/4.5" BS on my '83 Malibu wagon and they fig perfect with a little lip rolling. I had to adjust the offset when I ordered the ZE since I added disc brakes. On the front I had 17x7 w/4" BS and they rubbed the inner fender (lowerd with spindles), so I ordered 5" BS for fonts now.

Bill still has TT2S, but backspace is backspace.

deuce_454 02-07-2007 11:41 AM

yeah, there were TT2's on the pics he sent me.. but he said somthing about getting boze's... i has just curious as his paint scheme is almost identical to mine... and they are equally lowered

Deuce,

If you need particularly angled pics of the Zx3P's to have photoshopped just let me know, be glad to help out.

Lead.

deuce_454 02-08-2007 12:42 PM

wow, leadfoot... that would be awesome... i think since i cant fit your mega cool 12x20 or what ever supercool rear wheels you have ill settle for shots of the front wheels... somthing i can crop onto this image:

which is how it will look once its painted... atleast thats what i asked for
