Eh, I got 18" wheels w/ the AC kit. There are times when I wish I would've gotten 19s or 20s, but the ride quality is so on point that it's worth it imo.

Forreal, don't be cheap out, get the door moldings, grill, and fogs or don't get the kit at all.

yeah those are 18's, that's been one of my favorite SC's ever since i joined the forums.. I have no idea who owns it though.

Just to back up your statement you are correct, CCW does not make the classics in anything larger then 18's..

If you're doing 18s with AC, make sure you're aggressive with offsets with a stretch on the tires and dump. Just like that silver one.

The car was Josh's from First State Motorsports until he sold it awhile back. It floated on ebay for a little bit and I don't know where it is now lol.
