Subject: Re: new wheels.... through the steps by mseven on 2011/3/9 14:10:21 Thanks for the words guys... yeah I'm looking forward to getting the rubber on today/tomorrow. I will post pics on the car w/tires. My last ones were all black a molds and while I like black out, the rims loose the lines/look. I wanted some contrast but with a black out look. After seeing the 2.0 welds (600.ea for fronts)and the comp 5 billet specialties(600+ for fronts only) I wanted to go for that type of look. Bill at QC is the kind of guy that will work with someone on making an idea happen...of course if possible. Rick, The wheels and tires are a significant weight loss. I also have 'a molds' with dr's on the rears, and each front tire/wheel weighs 56lbs ea.(rears are 59 approx.). The new rims fronts weigh 9lbs ea. and tire weighs 20lbs. Rears are 35ea. tire and rims are 16lbs ea....so around a 90+ lbs reduction !! The wheel sizes are 4x15 fronts (2.25 bs) and 10x15 (7.50 bs. for f body)rears. Rear tires are 295/55/15 MT ET street radials and fronts are ET SR 6/26/15. flyboy, if done well, powder coating is pretty damn bullet proof. My intake for example was done in 05 and has been on and off multiple times, reported, re-installed again on the new motor etc. The bolt holes are barely marred, it will take considerable harm before there is a noticeable effect. The stuff is awesome ! |
