Default Speedline Mistrals w/ fresh paint.

Bought these about a year ago off a guy in Florida that used these on an SCCA world challenge Camaro. They'd bought them when it was opened up to where they could run 17"x9.5" wide wheels in the rulebook.

Bought them on the cheap and got them powdercoated.

Before:


AFTER!

Need to get some lugnuts, center caps and valve stems. Probably going to run spacers to get them more flush with the body lines of the car (have ARP studs available, not looking forward to pulling rear axles)...Oh yeah and tires too!

Probably going to put the speedline spoke logo back on but in black this time. Unless I find some speedline center caps that fit, but these are going to require a 70mm back center cap. I can drop a 20oz can through the hub opening and not touch.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with them. Alot easier to clean than the stock 16 since it is all a smooth surface without any edges.

I like them. They're different but they go well with the car.
