Well I have started the last part of my suspension work I need to do. Installing BMR LCA's, Torque Arm, and Sam Strano sway bars. Looking forward to getting it finished and back out on the street.

Ok I have been looking for a while and I have come to this. I am wanting either Weld S71 or Fikse FM5. Which ones do you think. I have seen plenty of the Welds on SOM Trans AM's but not to many of the Fikse. If you have pics please post them if you would.

I like the fm5's but that would depend on how big you went? You going back with 17's?

I'd go Fikse for sure! They'd look amazing on your car

The Fikse's look great in 17" but never did look right in 18" to me.

Well I have been debating on which wheel to go with and after talking to Josh of Hamming Motorsports I went with the Weld RTS S71. Can't wait to get them in and have them ceramic coated and on the Phoenix.

I also got me a new daily which I have forgot to post on here. I got a 2021 Ram Rebel. The only pictures I have at the moment is when I got it new. Since then I have put a Mopar Tonneau, Ram running boards, tinted the windows, on it. Today I bought the Ram AirFlow CAI from Ram. Then next will be the exhaust.

Well I got my tires today. I changed up what I have been getting with the NItto's and went with Falken Azenis RT660. I got 285/30ZR18 front, and 315/30ZR18 rear. My wheels should be here tomorrow, and I am getting excited. I plan on getting the Welds RTS S71 ceramic coated then I will get them mounted. More pictures to follow.

Well I got lucky and the day after I got my tires the Weld wheels shipped out. So now I am having the Welds ceramic coated, then hopefully this weekend I can get the Azenis RT660 mounted to them, but I won't be able to get my alignment checked until the 1st of April. Doesn't matter I can wait just a little longer. I was like a kid on Christmas waiting for the UPS driver to drop them off. LOL
