Default My New Old Wheels!!!

just bought these from cole on the for sale section and ended up buying the same exact FM5 wheels that where on my TA when i sold it due to the accident. seems they exchanged hands 3 times got repaired and a new set of tires as well. Its a small world i guess. Im glad to have em back though.

hey my pics wont load up. its saying the files are too big i see people post huge pics though. can anyone point me in the right direction. im making a page on cardomain should have a link in 5 mins.

when i got in the accident the front left wheel looked like a can opener went through it. i asked which wheel was repaired and he said the front left and also that he purchased them from a guy who bought em from someone on this site and he remembers him saying it came of a white TA. so they have traveled a got portion of the US. Fate maybe? Dont know but i love these wheels!!!

yeah i use photobucket then just copy the image links in a post...or if you use the pic's as an attachment/"thumbnail" you can shrink the pic in PAINT first if it's too big...just open the pic in PAINT and then do IMAGE...Stretch/Skew...then do like 50% by 50% reduction and wala...smaller pic!

Also i got the fenders rolled by 69TA before i mounted the rear wheels. he did an excellent job and if you need to roll your fenders he can help you out. He also rents out his roller at a great price if you want to do it yourself.
