Nice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> But why did you have to grind on the calipers?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Now call Darren over at DEMCO MACHINE and get some blank billet center caps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> (909-930-1622)
They really make the wheels look even better..

Good job!

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Wow they are shiny, looks great!


But I dunno about the HUGE sticker on the scraper thing in front. What does it say, Bridgestone?

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

hehe...thanks all... Lemme see what I can respond to here... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Mobe: kiss my grits... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Steve: rotors too big (C5 front rotor kit), and the calipers were too far out to fit inside the rims... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I may have to call about those blank centercaps...thanks for the #. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Alex: I don't really like the sticker either, but after I put it on there a few months back, I was just too lazy to take it off. Now that I don't even have Bridgestones, it's gotta come off... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Minivette: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> We'll see about the centercaps...lemme get used to these for at least a few days before I go changing them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Those look great, gotta love Boyd's. As for the center caps, you can change just the logo, it pry's off w/o removing the center cap, Boyd's will sell you the logo in pewter, looks really good.

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Thats is one of the best looking trans ams I have seen. Nice choice of color and wheels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Those boyds look sweet as hell on your TA. The Z06 wheels on the other SOM car look nasty too. I might have to change my mind on the smoothie IIs and go for some Timeless IIs.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Wow! looks nice.

So are these Timeless II's?

What are the sizes and offsets?

Thanks,
-Nick

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Awsomwe car! Wouldnt be interested in trading for a sweet black TA insted of that horrible looking SOM one would ya? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The wheels look great but I was also wantting to know the sizes and offsets of them. And would the calipers have to be cut if the brakes were still all stock?

Thanks, justin

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Reminds me of FM5s. I like them though.

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

Again, thanks everyone! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
They are Timeless 2s, and they do remind me of FM5s - a lot more in person that I thought they would. But, I love the look... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The rims are 17x9.5 up front and 17x11 out back.
Offset is +56mm front, and +50mm back.

I think the stock sized brakes would have fit just fine under these wheels. In fact, I'm sure I wouldn't have had to do any grinding on the fins...

Re: New wheels... Boyd's... :)
 

What size tires are you runing on those... and is the car lowered?

Thanks
Steve
