Anthony, I'm having trouble picking wheels, what do you think looks better, traditional lip style like yours or the fat lip design, with all the wheels on the market, I don't know, I like the Forgelines, Kinesis, Fiskes, but I'm worried I might get sick of the bolts in the F/L and Kinesis, looking for a little smoother look, :willy:

I do however like the Fat Lip wheels on a build that is more of a resto-mod cruiser, mine is just a little too edgy for that look, that's why I sold the Intro's.

I have to say that after weeks (literaly) of looking at pics of darker 3 piece wheels...especially on silver cars, my wife made the final decision to go with Fikse as she likes the clean look with the hidden hardware. I was on the fence between the Profil 10's and Forgelines, she nocked me off and over to the Fikse side, and let me tell you I'm glad she did as they are nice wheels!!

I'm sure Forgelines are just as nice and I would be happy with them, but I'm a less is more (except for hp) kinda guy and really do like the clean looks of Fikse wheels...it's up to you though. :)

Dont forget about Simmons wheels, Group A has good pricing, I almost ordered the Alta in Charcoal Grey. I think this wheel would look hot on a first gen!! Check out the Porsche in their gallery!!

LMAO!! :lol:

Actually, she had to sign the check since they forgot to add my name to the checks before printing them, which doesn't make since since it's my account that I added her to...oh well!! She said she didn't care how much they cost as long as I was ok with spending my 'paint job' money on wheels. It truely is my money though, from side jobs and the sale of the old wheels/tires....time to start saving for paint again!!! :D

Thanks again guys for all the kind words...I still find myself out in the garage just staring at the car, it finally sports the agressive look I wanted all along!!!
