Thanks folks! Any wheel suggestions? I'm open to darn near anything that's in stock

 

Well since its your money and not mine...

Actually on that torch red I think a little bit brighter more open spoke wheel like the Super Snake Alcoa wheels would be sick...

 

Holy carp! Is that per wheel? That makes the Alcoa's look like a bargin

 

Nicely done.

 

Just put the SHR lower grille on. I think it gives the CS bumper a much more finished look...

 

The awesomeness is now complete Good job!

 

I don't know - every time I look at the rear, I think about how much better it would look with 285s or 295s hiding under there!

 

Big fat tires at the rear look great, but the downside is that you won't be able to rotate them.

 

Very well done!

 

Didn't say I was going to wrap them around 20s

Thanks!

 

Oh, gotcha

 

Finally decided on wheels and tires and did what I said I wasn't going to do when I started: I bought black DD Bullitts. After all the cool, spokey 20" wheels I looked at, I decided that Bullitts help make the classic look of my coupe. And I could get a staggered set that I knew would fit perfectly.

Bought the Bullitts and tires from Cruisin Concepts and got the center caps from Late Model Restoration. Here's what I went with:

Front: 18"x9" black deep dish Bullitt wheels w/Nitto 555 255/45/18 tires
Rear: 18"x10" black deep disk Bullitt wheels w/Nitto 555 285/40/18 tires









Factory 235s vs the Nitto 285s:

 

Looks awesome.


If I'd have known you could have bought my old black bullitts. Oh well.

 

Thought about that too after I saw your new shoes. Oh, well - next time!

 

Normally I wouldn't like black on the red that much, but I think with the white stripes it looks really good.


Plus its all very shiny too. I like the fuel door too. Nice touch.

 

Thanks man. Yeah, the tires are a bit shiny. Tried a new product and I think it's more "wet" than I really wanted.

 

What did you use?

I use that Meguiars purple stuff. Smells like grape kool aid. I'm always tempted to drink some.

 

I used Tire Black gel. I'll look into the Meguiar's stuff - thanks for the recommendation. I dig shiny tires, but I think this is a bit over the top.

Um, don't.

 

Hey Jeff, ride looks good and congrats on the new wheels! I need to work on getting my hands on a GT/CS rear bumper as well....looks good.
