They are a lot less expensive than the other version I've seen (see link and 2nd picture below) and have more of a deep dish look

Looks like a cross between the middle picture and the Mach 1 style wheels (last picture)

The madness continues with a set of 18" Wedsports riding on BFG KWD2's. Not the best pics but it gets dark early here:

i wanted those wedsports before, but they costed too much for me. also, since they were being closed out, if they ever got damaged, i thought i would have a hard time finding replacements.

looks really nice though!

Yeah, I bought them used to make them affortable. They're also 18x8, not 18x9 which are more common so I'm basically screwed if I bang one up. That thought went through my head the other night when I skidded on a patch of ice. The all season OEM Pirellis are back on now for safety reasons.

Your just as bad as I am. I went from stock suspension to H&R Super Sports to Steeda Sport Springs w Tokicos to Stock Springs w/ Bilsteins.
Maybe in a few months I'll go with Koni Adjustables and Roush Rear Springs or do the Ford Handling Pack. LOL

Curious why did you change out the Foose Nitrious Wheels ? Those are
the best of the lot !

I considered those, but they don't look much like the the original Magnum 500 wheels (as seen on this 1966 GT 350); a look that I'm leaning towards.

Another photoshop.

My 18" Magnum 500's just came in today, and I should get them on either this afternoon or, if I have to, wait untill this weekend.
