Default These look even better in person

Stopped by and took a look a Justin's wheels. They look really good in person. I see them in my future.

Just curious, why are some of you guys so against cowl hoods? Are they considered more for the drag racing look rather than pro touring? Personally I think your car looks badass with the 4 inch cowl hood Justin, aswell as with the new wheels, nice work!

I know this may seem like a given but I just want to make sure. The rims in the rear are 19x10 with a 5.5 back space? And the car itself does or does not have a mini tube? If not what if any mods did you do to make a 10" wide rim fit aside from rolling the outer lip? I'm only asking becasue I would love to know if you guys think this would fit on a 69 nova.

Hope I answered all your questions today John, without burying you with to much information. I can get a little long winded sometimes!!

Those wheels look amazing. Wish they were available last year when I had my car. Great look.

And I say keep the cowl hood just because!

No, Justin you were a big help and I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me and answering what probably seemed to be obvious questions. I guess we are all "new" at some point haha.

Thanks again,
John
