new rims

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...e=STRK:MEWA:IT
i decided to get these, i don't know what size tires to get yet. i've decided also to change the accent trim pieces in the interior to suede, i'm also gonna use suede on the center part of the seats when i make new covers for them. i finally changed my fuel pump but had to drain the tank because the gas was so bad the car wouldn't run. haven't decided if i'm gonna do any kind of body changes besides a wing and still haven't decided if i'm gonna use the tt motor because this one seems to run so smooth. also i have a few sets of the rubbers that are used on the headlights, since we use them on the replicas but don't use the rubbers i have a few sets so if anyone wants new rubbers get with me and i'll see how many sets i have and whoever ask first gets them.

Not a bad looking wing provided that it doesn't stick out too much as it goes forward. It mates up nice and smooth then it wouldn't look bad at all.

Very nice, man. Tasteful...something many people forget to strive for.

Re: new rims

those are nice wheels, spend the extra $60 (?) and get the staggered ones. the wing is also a nice touch, good choices.

rims are already paid for and will ship tomorrow, i though about the staggered but all the pics i find seem to make the rear wheels stick just a little too far out. i can have custom aluminum spacers to add a little, not adaptors just spacers with longer studs but they wouldn't be too thick.

i have found a site that makes spacers for any make or model. i forgot it though. nice wheels...and i think that is one of the better looking spoilers in my opinion.

BTW: did you receive your clear corners yet??? i shipped them last tuesday. i keep forgetting to get the tracking number out of my car.
