Slammed68 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not crooked, just an unsteady hand in Microsoft Paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buZy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I like your car! Get rid of the flares, though from your wheel placement it looks like you may need them. It would be a shame to cut up your Z to mount just to mount those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 The wheels stick out a good inch and a half. Im pretty dead set on the look as of right now, and know its what im going for. The hood and how I am going to run the exhaust are the only questionable things on my list unless anyone else has any other suggestions besides getting rid of the flares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badjuju Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not crooked, just an unsteady hand in Microsoft Paint. LOL I was going to say... "is it just me or does your engine hoist sort of jab through the airdam then start somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lammbn Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Where did you find those wheels?! i've been searching and searching for a five spoke wheel like that in solid black. i haven't been able to find anything without a gay chrome or machined lip, and seeing as how there will be no chrome on the car at all that would look like crap. i had resolved that i would have to find some unfinished and powdercoat them myself.

Tx1021 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Im pretty sure its a cobra replica rim for 80's mustangs.

Slammed68 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Nope, those are almost it though. I have 03 Cobra Replicas. You will need adapters and you wont be able to run these without fender flares unless you do some more stuff. You can find them cheapest at http://www.americanmuscle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx1021 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Ah, i was close.. Where did you get the adapters to make these work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammed68 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Its my grandpa's 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-t with 237K miles. Its in very good condition for the age and mileage.

Rustyfriend Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 what's the offset on those wheels? possibly a 1.5" spacer? you know what, what about complete stats on them? i am looking to do a similar style in wheel, too many people have rewinds and panasports lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yeah thats the same thing I thought.. Im not sure on the specs besides theyre 17x9, and I used 1" spacers. They come very close to touching the struts but do not touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Wow! I didn't think I'd be a fan of the black rims, but that looks really evil! I love the flares too. I can't wait to see this when it's done. Nigel '73 240ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
