Default finally got my new tires and rims..pics..thoughts?

hey guys.....

i was playing around with my car last Sat. and i finally got my new rims too. so, while pulling the motor, i lined a rear up and partially mounted a front just to get an idea. remember, the rear is Not mounted, just lined up in front of the factory setup. they are Monocoques/Bogart Pro Stars. the fronts are 15x4.5 with 26" tall tires, and the rears are 15x11 with 28x10.5W's and 6.5"bs. honest opinions are encouraged one way or another.

thanks,
Dave

Hopefully you'll be pulling the wheels like that sometime. Those wheels make the car look faster than it probably might be.

I'm sure that's not your daily driver setup, so I think it makes for a great track combination!

actually, it will be as fast as it looks, once the motor and turbo's make their way between the frame rails! and also, i will be running the front runners in a 27 1/2" version with a set of MT Drag Radials of a comparible 28" size. i want that look all the time.... thanks for the input. it's a lot better than what i thought it was gonna be, not that i thought they looked bad in any way myself. just don't see that look very often.

You'll be running out of tire like you run out of gas, but at least it will be fun!
