Default New Wheels! Well, Almost

Had one wheel arrive yesterday, 2 more today, hopefully the fourth tomorrow. Will get 2 them mounted up tomorrow. If the 4th arrives tomorrow I will get the other 2 done Thursday and Bilstein PSS's on Friday. Fingers crossed.

Default Wheels

Looks good! They remind me of the Lowenhart BR5's? Can't wait to see them wrapped in rubber and mounted!

Wheels are eBay cheapies, XHP Saber II's. !9x8 with 35 offset. I had posted earlier to hope to of have the wheels and coilovers on by May 1st, no such luck. Bought the coilovers last winter but was waiting for spring and summer tires to put them on. Thanks for encouraging words on the budget wheels.

First, thanks again for the . Next, they are not staggered and the lips are 2 1/2". I will post progress pics as things happen. Tonight you should see 2 wheels mounted and on the car. I'm going nuts trying to get things ready for a big show this Saturday. Hundreds of cars will meet in Anchorage, cruise 30 miles out to the track where you can "Run what you Brung". Might even have a time slip to post!!
