New rolling stock.

[Blown353]

Yay, new wheels. Stole them off some sucka's Mustang... actually, they're the brand new American Racing "427" wheel. Was ready to buy some CCW Classics but then I saw these and changed my mind as I really liked the more vintage look.

The only thing I don't love about them is the center of the knockoff adapters say "Shelby" on them. That was unexpected because they're blank in the pics on AR's website. Actually I don't mind but I'm 99.5% sure I'll get sick of everyone at car shows asking "why did you put Shelby wheels on a Chevy?" Either that or I'll get a court order from his lawyers asking for royalties. Eventually I'll spin 'em in a lathe and face the logo off. At that point I might put them on a friend's 2-axis NC Bridgeport and use a small ball end mill to put a bowtie outline on them.

Details:

Front: 17 x 9.5 with 5.5" backspace using my old 1/2 worn down 255/45 Michelin Pilot Sports

Back: 17 x 11 with 6.5" backspace using 285/40 Kumho Ecsta MX

Also, since my last round of pictures I've dropped the front of the car another 5/8" and dropped the back another 1 3/8".
