I like your ride.

Those explorer wheels are 16" if anyone is wondering.

Came up with a compromise after browsing ebay. Had my fiancee photoshop a photo of my car for me with the pictures from the ad before I jumped on it.



Black "astro" supremes.
Not keystone or cragars. It was side option that popped up for a decent price.
What you guys think?

And the tire makers have new 16" tires


Stopping power is grossly under-rated, and its something that is grossly under-represented on these cars in stock form anyway.

I've had a lot of close calls with my box and while I've seen newer cars have to pull of the to the shoulder I've been able to stay in my lane. Many times I've seen the person behind me have to pull off too. With that crap in mind I'd say my box stops fairly well with the stock crap. I'm not an autocrosser so brake upgrade money seems better spent somewhere else for me.

I would've settled for 17" mustang rims and tires. Since they have a broad selection.

Sell me your bumpers, god fucking damnit.

I NEED STRIPLESS




THIS THREAD IS LACKING BURNOUTS, WHERE ARE THE BURNOUTS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I would have loved the mustang bullit wheels, but I got new tires for the 15inch rims like a dumbass. Lol nice to see some parts on my 600$ DD are valuable.

DrHax, them photoshopped wheels, how da fawk are we supposed to even see anything in that picture? Way too dark brother, way too dark! But hey, you know what they look like, so if you like the looks then go for it.

Brother, consider yourself extremely lucky to be able to think that way...

[DrHax]

Well they shipped out today. When they arrive I'll take a photo of them after I get them installed on the car.

[DrHax]

Photo time! Since



Everybody at work loved them. Though I feel like I had to baby sit them during the installation and help them figure out how to balance them. I come back from my lunch and I see them with one wheel trying to balance them out using sticky weights on the inside with the beauty ring still attached, with no weights on the outside. I was luckily able to get things sorted out And here they are on my car The ride quality has improved with the wheels and I think they look good on the car.

Turbines would be a significant improvement.

[His Royal Ghostliness]

Well they look cool and all, but still - either drop the nose or raise the rear a bit, this Cali lean you got going on now is silly.

Also, I'd have held out on the wheels and fixed the rust instead first, but that's just me - I snack on rust on daily basis so I am somewhat partial to its eradication whenever possible...

Look good. What size tire are you running?

Actually, that is about the only way not to ruin the finish on the wheel. Take a look closer at a lot of new car alloy wheels, they use stick on weights on the inside for balance from the oem.
Yup, they do look like they belong on the car.

Nothing irks me more than nice wheels with pounded on wheel weights. Horrendous. Ruins them forever.

Yeah but with these there's no way to put stickies on them. I could put stickies on the outside, but the machines aren't calibrated.. They were calling for like 4 ounces of weight where with the pound on style it was .50 ounce. Massive difference.

I bet the "cali rake" is probably because all of the steel rims are in the trunk when I took the picture, and still are. I should probably remove them out and see how it adjusts. I am running 215/70r 15 Nokian Entyre tires. They cost me less then walmart cheapies and have a 700 thread wear and have a 70,000 mile warranty on them. Suckers are silent. I went for wheels first because the ride quality was pure crap. One of the steel wheels was out of round, another was so bent it was giving wheel hop. The fronts weren't bad, but still. It needed new rims and tires. The old tires were very old Eldorado white walls and one of the sidewalls was patched. The tires were very old and weathercracked. I am surprised I was able to handle winter with them because of just how "Crap" they were.
