Who's 35th Aniversary convertible is that in the Motorsport Technologies Ad that runs at the top of the forum? It looks like it has 19" Fikse wheels or something... I'd like to see more pics.

It's Nine Ball's. They are HP rims.

Here's the pics he took:

Ah yes... I knew I recognized it somewhere. I love his car. Overall, I see myself as a T/A guy, but I'm a sucker for a Red SS 'Vert.

Yeah those are HP wheels. I ordered mine as soon as I saw them on another members car on here (donno who, its a whit TA) and then I noticed Tony had a set too. I can tell you that I get more people stopping me asking about my wheels than anything else. THey Look SCHWEEEEEEEEEET!

I think they are heavy as ***** though. Not sure cause Mine came with aired up tires but I think they are not light.

And yes, I think Tony has the sweetest looking SS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, My car was NOTICABLY slower after putting them on. but I will sacrifice that for the looks for now. Like I said before, I have never gotten so many looks and ?'s about the car untill those wheels, Their rediculous! The F13 im bout to install shouldmake me forget about the extra weight! Now all I need is to find me some 19" DR's if they even make em!

Thanks guys, I love these wheels. They DO weigh a ton and will make your car noticeably slower compared with stock wheels, but then again my heavy *** convertible wasn't planned for racing

If any of you plan on making it out to one of the Hotrod Magazine Power tour (starts tomorrow, June 5th) you can see the car in person. I'll be doing the full tour from TX all the way to Wisconsin!

Here is the website I have for it: www.35thSS.com

69 not completed. Still needs the engine wired up completely, a complete fuel system, and a custom intake tube and a custom hood to clear the blower.

See you in the '02 SS on Power Tour!
