Looks good Mark, side shot? When are you making a venture out to these neck of the woods?
Are those Rota Slipstreams or Desmond Regamasters?
Btw not “hating” just curious. Looks good either way.
Thanks everyone! I am really happy how it looks.
:tup: Thanks! They are 225/50/16 up front, 205/50/16 in the rear, Falken Ziex ZE-512. I chose them because they have a soft sidewall, and they are light. Its 25.7" tall up front, 24.7" tall in the rear.
For slicks, I have the same wheel, but 15", and I am looking at the M&H Racemaster street/strip slick. Its only 17# per slick, and < 14# per wheel, and I talked to a few guys at the 400 whp 400 ft/lb area, and they said they hook in second, which is awesome!

Slips baby.
Black hood, black wheels with chrome lugs. Looks like an angry 'lil sunuvabitch. Kinda reminds me of the '69 Superbee:
Hot.
So I guess I dont need to bring a grinder over, or you dont need to make the 22 mile drive out to the house again. haha.
Looks great.

BEES?
BEADS???
Looks good Mark. I like 
It could still save me some time if I do run into an issue, but the Dremel and the grinding stone bit worked well, although slow, still worked. I just had to take the powdercoat ridge off of the calipers.
BTW, my calipers say “TURBO” on them :lol:
Why did you go with a taller tire in front then out back? I like the look!
Wheels look great…
It saved me 3 pounds each tire going with a smaller tire in the rear. I was trying to think in my head which would be less resistance, the more rotations that are required to go the same distance with a smaller tire, or the weight savings, and I went with the weight savings. I have adjustable coilovers too, so I figured I could just level it out that way, if it looked silly.
Its nice fitting the 25.7" tire up front too, since the slicks are 26", this way I know there won’t be any rubbing issues unless they significantly grow, which in that case, I can just raise it up a little bit more again.

Quick and dirty shots, shitty location, it was about to start raining :gotme:
Marnie’s pics wins. Looks even better.
PS: Cavi Mike…seriously? If you’ve ever had that happen you might want to consider using wheel bearings instead of bits of string.
I think I like the rear tire size, the fronts look big from a side profile. Overall the car looks good. I like the wheels :tup:

Looks mean, I was going to put 15" Motegi Traklites on mine had I kept it. :tup: :tup:
But is it fast!??
lol
No way! Stock :pimp:
