Glad to see your feeling better.

What tranny r u doing?

You've got me intrigued bout that bike mount. I think I am goin to do a "sacrificial" deck lid and weld a Thule set up to it...

Thank you and I am feeling much better only 7 weeks of Chemo left.

For a trans we are going to use a 700r4

I can't wait to see you version of the bike rack.

There used to be a deck lid luggage rack and that I thought about using but I was unable to find one or even a picture of one.

Morning All,

The Wheels are back from Billet Specialties and they look awesome. I can't wait to get them mounted on the car.

Back tires are mounted and the ride height looks perfect.

Front tire is mounted and it looks like the front end needs to come down just a little. and the front fender needs a little work !!!!

Playing with lug nuts.
Trying to decide which ones I am going to use.

My hatred for TTII style wheels (AR's, Foose, etc) is matched by my enthusiasm for wheels like that with a vintage Trans Am racing look. I can't explain it, but those wheels look great.
Also, I like the first lugs.

450 hp with those parts is going to be easy. Is Wegner planning to port the heads any more?

Lug nuts; I like both. I'd have to wait and see what color the car is to know if the black lugs would look correct. However, the style of having a long lug that's sticking out of the rim a little is good. Keep the studs out there as well. That's how I have the studs on my TA and to me, it looks good. More classic and race oriented.

nope leaving everything out of the box stock. No extra money spent this project,

I agree the black lugs look the best.

Very nice. Love the wheels.

I'm thinking if my current project doesn't kill me, my next one might be a 2nd gen.

I have the same black lug nuts. I started to run them but did not have the longer studs. I felt uncomfortable running aluminum lugs with only half the thread engagement. I'll be getting long studs soon enough. What length are yours?

The studs I ordered were ARP-100-7704 (( 3.470 in )).


ps - the aluminun nuts have me worried also.
