The topic is self explanitory :P






got them from a co-worker for $1,200

-Almost New Dunlop tires
-Chrome Rims
-Chrome lugnuts (20 + 5 locking)
-Chrome plastic center caps.

The rims are 17in and the front tires are 245's and the rears are 275's
I'll either put the old ones back on for winter OR end up cleaning these everynight till spring lol

I'll get some better pics when we get some good weather. I also changed my rear brake pads and let me just say that compressing that piston is a biatch. I had to get my father to come out and help with that lol

Those look pretty nice!! I'm not real sure however, if that was a GREAT price.. I'm sure you could get all that new for just a few hundred dollars more. It's still a great price, however I'm sure you could of got them cheaper somewhere else.

What color would look best on the calipers? Red?

Oh and yeah 1200 doesn't seem like a GREAT deal but if I had found a better deal on the internet, I still would have had to pay shipping and hope that they dont send the wrong ones :P Plus I was able to see them before I bought them so that helped.
Also Im not sure, but I dont think I've seen the chrome bullitts and wheel combo for much cheaper.

oh well sometimes you miss better opportunites

Also, if you just didn't want to change the look. You could put the cobra brakes on which the calipers are already painted red. Also they have 13" discs which add up to great stopping power. You can find them easily for about $400.00

Looks good! I'd really like to see a picture of the whole car cleaned up when the weather stops messing with you.

Great choice, as usual the SN95 needs a lowering job.

Love the license plate!! Must be hilarious for those seeing it in their rear view mirror. Ohio is kinda goofy about plates like that or I'd get something along those lines,lol!!!!
