Update.

Fronts are now on with 10m spacers.
Awaiting 60mm studs to get the rears put on with 20mm spacers.

If my car looks dirty and primered, it was the camera :P

looking good goon...get to see it in person this weekend. Did you match the fender line (its on the door as well) when you filled the molding area? To me it looks funny if its just rounded and doesnt match the line in the rest of the body.

Hmm tasty. Kinda looks like Broaners Sylvia with SSR's, just bigger.

It looks super clean with all the parts connected, ie the head/corner lights, bumper/fender and doors smoothed out. I cant wait to see it a nice sexy black...

Ok, I took some good advice and got the smallest possible spacers. I only had to roll the rear fenders a tad. No rubbing and no need for massive fender reconstruction

one thing about girls (after having two and one boy) is they have their dads wrapped around their fingers. My girls are very much daddy's girls.

My 2 girls (6 and 3-almost 4) are the biggest rascals on the planet! It's true. They have me wrapped around their fingers . At least they like cars

Awesome look, goon!!!

P.S. Where do you guys find out how to do all those smiley/action face things?

I really like the look of these! Like what was said before- SEXY!
What I'm wondering is where to find wheels that look just about the same but with 6 spokes instead of 5, and maybe in silver? What I'm looking for is the same arched, smooth transitions, thick-spoked, w/lip look. Anyone know of any?

well Ro_Ja (the maker of those wheels) makes a wheel that looks just like that but is either 6 or 7 spoke. I want to say its a 7 spoke and is called a formula 7 (where those are formula 5).


edit...

it is 7 spoke and called formula 7...here is a link of some pics I pulled off google (second link I think...dont feel like searching any more). THe only difference is the rivets on the inside spoke but they are light (forged) just like the formula 5s.

Hmmm... Yes, those are nice. Thanks! But, I really am looking for 6-spokes. Just something about them strike me as the right look for my car- sporty but strong, sexy but classy too. Anyway, I'll keep searching. Thanks again

One thing I noticed on that link about the Roja Formula 7s, they say they won't clear BBKs very well.

"The only problem with the Roja's is their terrible caliper clearance. If you ever think you will install a BBK, do not get these!!!!"

So, I wonder, Goon, if you will have a problem with that. Are you running a BBK now? If not, I think it would look and work great on your car later on.

I can guarantee I can fit any applicable bbk in my wheels, because of the big offset AND spacers, plenty of room. Brakes will be one of those final things down the road. The new wheels weigh the same as stockers, where are a bbk would be more needed with a heavy wheel.
