I just read the entire thread, and you did a great job with all the mods... especially the cooling. Many of our clients do big hp mods, and then we have to go to improved cooling. I think the way you have done it is perfect.

Now would be the time to take advantage of all that great cooling work with some ECU work. If you think it's a beast now...... just wait!

Great job

You have done an outstanding job on both the mechanical/cooling mods and the cosmetics. By the way the new wheels really make you car pop.

Well Done!

After having your wheels for a while, have you had any problems?

Are they 19's or 20's? 9.5' or 10" on the back? Is that a chrome face, or machined?

I have contacted Bobby, and am working with him on getting a price.

Thank You.. I really like them as well...
They are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I have 255/30/20 tires mounted up front and 295/25/20 in the rear...

No problems with the wheels thus far.. The face is sort of a mix between chrome and highly polished stainless steel. Like the old RacingHart C5's looked.

You can really get some good deals on these wheels..
