Here you go the rear was a little high in these pics I ended up getting the Steeda Adjustable Suspension after these pics were taken , Complete suspension is set up for Drag Racing , same suspension as the Sutton High Performance car I was told.

Dave Lewis (GIJOE ) and I have a matching set of wheels we had them custom made from the Cobra Jet/GT Bogart wheels with the road race centers, and we made them 10.5 instead of 10.0 , the half inch is all on the inside , and you need to re- route the e-brake line so it wont rub on the inside part of the tire.
Cant wait to get the Front runners now.

the sway bar needed to be relocated? no issues with the calipers? longer studs needed?

is GIJoe going to offer them for sale?

My Buddy Kiko hooked me up with those wheels , I got them Custom made took about 8 weeks, There Vossen Forged Three Piece wheels.
Got them thru his work : Wheels Boutique in Miami. I can get you the number if you want and post it later.

Ive had the wheels on the car now about 2 months , I always get looks and compliments, the car basically sits at home during the week I only drive her on the weekends.

Here are a couple more pics :

Wheels Boutique!! Lol, that already tells me they are WAY out of my price range. They look outstanding on your car. I wish I could see these in person. Beautiful! If I happen to run across a lump sum of money in the future, especially when it's time to buy new wheels I will get a hold of you. Thanks for the info.

Im not sure that might be a good question for him .

As far as the sway bar goes yes you need to get the relocate brackets just like you would with any other 15" wheel.

My car has a Steeda anti roll bar on, so I have removed the rear sway bar . If you get the regular 10.0 wheels then you dont need to re-route the e-brake cable .

yea the 10.5" is the ticket...

:thumb:
no long studs required. They have road race road worthy centers with 60 degree tapered acorn lugs and the factory studs will come through them the required amount to be legal. Would I put hardened studs in for drag racing? Yes...and I did.

Not to steal any thunder from Pete but here are the fronts...

Suup Carlos , thanks buddy , are you going to the track soon , We are planning on Friday at PBIR.


Pete

I was planning on going to Countyline on Friday, but maybe I'll go up to PBIR instead. Paul's working on the suspension for me this week, so the car should be ready for Friday.
