Wheel Show! Post your pics of you wheels


Recommended Posts

One more ? Dtaylor! I noticed the caps are on the front wheels. I have heard of problems with the bearing caps not allowing the wheel caps to sit correct-any problems with yours???

Thanks Steve

 

 

I am using Cobra Mustang rotors up front. They mount between the wheel and hub. If there is a problem you could use a small spacer to give the cap a little room.

Sorry to say, not much done since. Life got in the way. New job, new house with a complete remodel inside and out, has taken most of my time.

 

I still had the stock dash in there at the time of that photo. It has since been replaced by a modified version of this:

Wired up with new autometer gauges.

 

One of these days I hope to get back to it... :(

I hear you Jeff. I've had 2 kids, changed jobs, blah blah blah. My car has an abundance of dust on it as we speak.

 

I still love your car. Good luck and I hope you get back too it sooner than later.

I think the wheels that came on the car when I bought it look like poop when the car isn't moving, but when they are, they don't look that bad.

For those of you who don't know, I am a huge wheel fan. Its fun for me anyway, kind of strange. Here is a set I got a while ago. Bought these 4 months or so ago, never got a chance to photo them. I am trying to get them signed by Peter Brock this weekend at a car show (cross your fingers right). Just one of them on the lip and I will be happy. I just wiped it down with a wet cloth, didn't reclear it or buff or anything. Thats for later if I ever get around to using these! 17x9.5" front and 17x11.5" rear offsets are something like -25 front and -45 rear. They are 3-piece and actually surprisingly light. Has over 7" of lip on the rear.

These aren't for everyone but I am running 345/30R19's on factory 08 Z06 wheels. Even with my 85 C4 suspension I had to get 3" wheel adapters made to use them. Probably way too much postive offset for most of you. I just did a quick mock up to see if they will work. The final flare will be a bit different design but you'll get the idea.

Rudy, my man, those Etoile wheels where the BOMB back in the 1980s!!!! Only for the rich back then--perfect for the look of pure "excess!" Nice! :2thumbs:

Heheh. :) Thanks! I really want John Morton or any BRE guys to sign them in Gold Sharpie this weekend. Crossing my fingers. They really are strangely light though. Its a bit disturbing. I would think them heavier. Apparently the rims are forged or something. I should get them on a scale.
