Thanks again! I only have one good rear wheel left, so I'll buy another Trak Star to match that one. For the front wheels I think I might go with the M/T one piece, since they have the same "sun flare" design as the Track Stars but a thinner spoke. What do you guys think?

You know I am crazy so I don't like if they don't match. Plus the trak stars are my fav!

Yep, but that's much less per wheel than the Trak Stars I had. I did like those wheels!

well...got a sneak preview of the coupe tonight, and all i can say is WOW! the pics really don't do it justice. once the car is completely assembled, that blue is really gonna stand out! gotta throw some props to mike, the paint/body man. to get the car fixed, and back in color this fast is nothing short of amazing. he's a nice guy, but obviously a pit-bull when he sinks his teeth into a project. nice meetin' ya, bro....!!
as for the wheels, i like the black magnums, myself, but the rears need more black on them to look proportionate with the fronts. i've seen black beadlocks on the rears, but unless you're in the low eights, high sevens, they look rather pretentious. on joes car, i'd say the trak stars should go back on the front. a polished wheel will complement the fox bodys lack of brightwork nicely.

Thanks, Mike (the body/paint guy) is really coming through on this job. I didn't do much but strip the car down, and he knocked out all this work in an unreal amount of time.
No new pictures yet, but much of the paint has been wet sanded and buffed. It looks like glass! I can't wait to get this thing assembled, the trim and wheels should really set of the color.
