Finally got my new wheels...

Just arrived Wednesday and I bolted them up last night for some photos...








And, this morning in the parking lot....





BOSS 338s in 20x8.5 and 20x10 with 245/40 and 275/40 BFG G Force Sport Comp 2s. Ride is great, and the turn-in is crisper than the stock Pirellis, plus loads more grip. Since it isn't a race car, but more of a cruiser, I wasn't worried to much about the loss of a couple thousandths of a second in accelleration... And the speedo is spot on now (it actually read a bit high with the stockers). I wanted a modern take on a retro design, much like the car itself is.

Next up is the CDC Shaker hood scoop this weekend and possibly the '70 BOSS 302 style stripes. And I have the J&M upper and lower rear control arms to go in.
