The black wheels just do it. Good call. I wish more guys would realize this when building these cars. But then we wouldnt be different.

Default Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!

What size tires and rims?

I love the way your car looks. Makes me want to go out and build one myself. Then I will be looking at divorce papers. LOL..

Thanks boys I'm stoked. The R888's are 275/35/18 fronts 25.7" and the rears are 335/30/18 26". The Pilots sports are 26" front and 27.4 rear. I still like the way the taller rear tire fills out the quarter panel. I figured if I was going to spend that kind of coin on a race set up, it better have two distinct attitudes. I'm going to clear bra behind the wheels soon so I can run either set on the street. She sure does look mean with the new wheels. The Boze's aren't going anywhere.

Changed the whole look! IMO for the worst, just to much black those first wheels looked so killer i like the tires but just dosen't work for me looks like everyone elses now.
Non the less great car absolute beauty just dosen't seem to be enough contrast.

Hey Todd, The car looks really good. The street wheels look great but the new ones look even better I think. The little bit of chrome on the body of the car is just enough to set it off right but not have a total blackout/monochrome look to it.
Good luck on th auto X tonight. Let us know how it goes.

Forgeline calls it matte black. I haven't changed the look of the car I've added another demension. The boze wheels are cuddled up nicely in my garage. They will spend plenty of time on the car as well.
