Looking for rims for new project.

John,
Sorry for the delay. All this wating and all the customer gave me was the rim size 18x9.5 and a number 5-1143 if that means anything. The company is R.H.O. out of Austrilia. Also if it helps the rearend is stock length. Sorry for the wait with no real answer!!!

Ben busy figuring things out. XV motorsports IMO isn't the greatest. There instructions,parts organization, and recieving parts isn't good. It's been months and were still missing stuff. O'well heres the latest. Had to redo the upper control arm/shock mount. The caster was way off so we had to reposition from where the instructions tell you to place it. Got that fixed. Cut out the shock tower and replated it flat for a different but cool look and better reinforcment. Put everything together for test fit and suspension check.Then welded it up. Got the new 7 spoke HRE'S today. Let me say BAD A$$ !!!!! brushed centers and black satin hoop. 19x13 back and 19x10 front w/ 345/35/19 and 255/35/19. Also check out the Bear 15" rotors and 6 piston calipers. This car is sick!!!!

Sharp looking wheels. I also went with the satin black hoops (Forgelines) - gives the tires a meater/thicker look to the side wall and looks good on the old mopars. Keep up the work - this is a sick build!
