Traded the FR500's for a set of welds. Figured id throw a before and after pic up. I plan to buy another set of wheels besides the welds, just not sure what yet. I was just tired of the Fr500's. Let me know what you think! I posted a timeline of wheels since ive had the car lol

When I bought the car

I had Fr500's on my blue car also. Fr's on two different cars and both chrome and black were enough for me. Plus Trading a set of FR500s for a set of alumastars wasnt a bad deal either. Im going to buy a different set of wheels eventually. At the moment, going faster is my first priorty. Thanks for the compliments guys
 
I'm just not a fan of the drag look :lol: , I have a medium fast car(compared to fast cars now) and I want to put street wheels on it

The one nice thing about front runners is how much nicer it drives with a Bias-ply on the back VS. a Bias-ply out back and a wide (255) radial tire up front. Car always felt like it was working against itself at higher speeds when i mixed the bias with the wide radial
 
ur going to need more then wheels to go fast, that look takes away from the element of surprise and put u in that other category

Really? The car went pretty damn fast this year considering it was on 18's, stick shift and IRS. In fact, it went fast enough to beat your car :) However, its already on its way to being more reliable and faster at the same time. Thanks for informing me that wheels dont make it any faster SKY.
 
Looks sexy. Any more pictures? I want to do the same setup on my Terminator that I did with my LS1 camaro. 15x10 Weld RTS wheels with 17x4 Alumastar fronts. If you traded your FR500s for a full set of Alumastars, you swiftly kicked somebody in the balls. Nice trade!! Oh, and do you have a SRA in the car now?

I dont have anymore pics at the moment. Yes the 17's up front would be nice. Believe it or not, theres a 1 inch spacer on the fronts with longer studs of course to clear the front brakes. Also, the rears need GT or v6 brakes to work. I left the cobra rear brakes, shaved a few bolts down and ran a very small spacer and they cleared. I know i dont like spacers either but ive checked an checked lugs and have had no issues yet. It still is IRS and I plan to keep it with a few upgrades. And yes i did trade them straight up. Another board member with the red 1999 YSI car in the for sale section didnt want the welds and wanted 18 inch wheels.

Niceeeee. That's why I like the RTS wheels. They fit over the Cobra brakes without any grinding or shaving. I had a black set on my 01 Cobra for a minute.

Oh I'm almost bothered by 4v with 2 power adder car going faster then Kali a stock cammed 5.0 with stall shift kit shifter exhaust stock suspension a 2:73 gear with 80k on the clock, that i no longer own.

That head of yours is getting a lil to big for the helmet you wear you better go up a few sizes!
Now all you have done is made it look like the rest of the drag queens out there.

If i actually cared that your car would beat Kali , i would have made sure you stayed looking at the ass of my girl and trust me it would not have been that hard to accomplish
