Thanks man, I hope I make it too. And I am on my 6th set. I am always on the market for wheels. I almost picked up some Mustang turbine wheels last month, but the deal didn't work out. Ugh talking about wheels makes me want to wheel shop.

brb going to CL

Seeing it every day, I have to change it up to keep myself interested. And the show plaque is really easy to make and an invaluable investment if you are building a show car.

I've never bought a set of NEW wheels. All of mine have been used, and I have learned the down sides of that. Time for a sweet timeline!

15" Stockers (Sold them for $300)
17" Hotwheels (Bought for $200, spent another $200 repairing, eventually sold for $500 + wheels)
16" Stockers (Part of trade, sold for $200)
17" Kyowas (Bought for $350, traded them later for my Pioneer head unit)
17" Cobras (Bought for $200, sold for $280, trololololol)
16" Fittipaldis (Bought for $200, spent $300 refinishing and painting)

And here I am today.

Wow thats interesting! You did pretty well then. Reminds me of buying my kona rack for 200, and selling it for 300. tehe. Yea my EAPs were new off ebay, they arent the standard EAPs either. Ford racing wanted like 400 a piece for them. I got them for 450 shipped to my door off ebay. lol If I still have the car in a few years I want to slam it and get some 16s and roll the fenders and all that. If I have the money. haha

The good thing about our cars is that they are not so expensive to slam. You can get a set of coilovers for less than a grand. And if you have a friend with a fender roller, you're all set for that. No need to do any crazy fender work until you get to crazy wheels like Adam (zinger) with the 10" wide wheels.
