Default More Pics!

These pics aren't so special, just around the area I live........but it's the first beautiful day in south florida in what seems like a month. I'm getting over a cold but still went out to shoot a few. I love taking pics and love the car, why not. Not expecting much in the way of comments, you've all seen the ride, I just love taking pics. If I feel better tomorrow, I'll get some with better scenary.

BTW, I had a few reasons for going even fitment all around and I bullheadedly stuck with it. DUMB DUMB DUMB! The even fitment looks good on my wife's car because she has 2.5 inch lips all around. Mine are 1.5 because the wheels had to be pushed out far enough to clear the big brake of the 350. I should have thought about that and staggered the rear. I could have gotten 4 inches but chose not to. Now I miss the lip. Looks like I'll be buying wheels soon..........but all my friends knew that anyway! Hehe!

I didn't take more scenic pics today. Instead I polished the wheels. They needed it badly. After 2 weeks of rain they had water spots and stains all over. Took car of it this morning and now they are beautiful again. That Mothers mag wheel polish is great. I will add more of the pics I took yesterday. Enjoy!

Default Frost color= Ice Cold!

Nice shots of the ride, Reg! A staggered set up would enhance the look! Go for it!

Don't your wheels have a clear coat? Mine don't. Is the power ball okay to use on naked akuminum with that metal polish?

Yeah man I'm thinking of what to do next. Get 2 rear staggered wheels, change the whole set-up because the polished wheels require work, keep the wheels longer and work on a kit or work on the ice and interior. Decisions decisions.

The wheels are Boze/ZE Forged (same company)
Model is called Speedster
20x8.5 all around, 35 offset
As for price, they were 3K
If you get rivets, 3 piece (mine are 2), custom finish (mine is bare metal), custom fitment and whatever else.....you could be paying a lot more.

I got what I wanted, a clean simple 5 spoke wheel that is a little understated for such a stylish car. It's a perfect match for my taste. I get loads of props. These are my first bare metal wheels and I recommend either brushed or clearcoated. Bare metal is tough to care for. It looks hot when clean though.
