      Bishir, you crack me up. Your visual humor makes you the "sleeper" of Bangshift. Keep 'em coming....

        Hijacking is OK as long as you post pics of cool cars and dont start a pissing match with TC and 'Geek.

            This is John Theodore's 66 Elco canyon killer. Those are 17x9.5 PR Racing Minilites. I like them. I like this truck. He grew up with Yannick Sire.

            Remember that 67 Skylark Convert Freiburger drove out of the desert? Here it is as of tonight. Those are 17x8 steelies. The car is now sitting with chassis and disc brake upgrades from CPP. The little 300 2bbl is super reliable now. The steelies work on this car.

              I dig the minilites. But those big steelies painted a funky color don't do anything for me.

                I don't care for the funky color, but I do like the simplistic style.

                  I think the Minelites will rock on the Impala..

                      I like that style of wheel, but those are too big for that Vette. They look out of proportion. Forgeline makes wheels like that but they are over $1000 each.

                        I wouldnt be. I am obviously in the minority in not liking Torque Thrust IIs.

                          did anyone mention the wheels from year one that are 17" and look like the factory z28 wheels from the 70's? I actually prefer the pseudo factory look...keeps em guessin'

                              american racing, 18 x7 thru 9.5 or 17 x 7 - 11

                              I missed calling wheel pros to get a price today,maybe a little more than a couple hundy each

                              for me, i like this centerline


                              on Centerlines website 17 x 8 with custom backspace is 249, 9" is 292 ea....

                              18 are about 35-50 bucks more. thats a great price on a custom backspace wheel...
