Yeah thats pretty ridiculous pricing I wouldn't pass it up either.

I take it your getting away from drag racing?

Cant wait to see what it looks like on the ground. Ive been considering a few TSW wheels for my WS6.

yeah they closed the track here in memphis so i am gonna put the car back on the street should be alot of fun with the 6 speed and street tires, looking to just cruise the car again, i plan on putting tint back on and lowering the car again but not sure how low i can go with a sphon torque arm and the ford 9 inch, i had it slammed back when it was stock with a set of intrax springs. this was back in 2002 car was bone stock.

Where did you get them for that price, friend, store, online?

MB Hawk Feb 4, 2010 11:33 AM

I also would like to know where you found them? I have been looking at those rims for months.

BIRDONNOS Feb 6, 2010 03:30 PM

yeah kinda of a joke i see alot of pics with people doing it with one bill so i figured i would line half the rim with them

BIRDONNOS Mar 2, 2010 08:01 PM

Definitely needs lowered again. Get some Hotchkis, BMR, or Strano springs for it. Anything lower looks BA, but handles and rides like ass.

As for the wheels...look good! :)

BIRDONNOS Mar 2, 2010 08:09 PM

yeah its coming back down as soon as i get another day off to put the springs in, i am wondering how the torque arm and 3 inch true duals are gonna work with it lowered, i guess i will see once i cross that bridge.

ClemsonT/A Mar 2, 2010 08:29 PM

You get used to the scraping. You also start driving a lot more carefully. But it does look BA :D

BIRDONNOS Mar 2, 2010 09:03 PM

yeah window tint and lowering are the next 2 things i am shooting for, my 68 lq9 swapped camaro is still a lil ways off before being drivable so i wanted something to cruise this spring and summer so i turned my race car back to a street car, it went 11.2's on motor with the th400 and slicks, now it has a 6 speed and monster stage 4 clutch in it with about 100 miles on it since this weekend, the car is so much more fun to drive now. i can't wait to see what it will do WOT on these tires and with the 6 speed.
