Default New wheels Billet specialties

Here are a couple quick shots of my new setup 15x10 on 5.5 backspacing on the rear and 15x3.5 on 1-3/4 backspacing for the front. Oh course these wheels are on my newly built 8.8 ford rear!

Looks good. BS wheels just don't do it for me, I don't know why, but the narrowed rear looks good! I def like the slicks & skinnies look better.

I think they look nice; I hate the center cap design.

Watch the bolts, put some ant seize on them. They can gall the aluminum...depending on the material; a difference of material will also cause a chemical reaction which can stain. Typically this type of cap configuration the bolts either break off in the wheel or become difficult to remove over time.

Haters LOL, I love the new setup. I have never really like the big n littles combo, but its deffinately growing on me. There are alot of cars on here that pull it off really well and your car is deffinately one of them. Do you have any side shots of the car?
