Good choice! Can't go wrong with MOMO's. Check out ltbmotorsports.com. That is where I get all of my momo stuff from. Ask for Louis. Hey ispeed, go ask your neighbors across the street how much they want for that Lincoln Town car. I have a SC and springs for a town car in my garage. Do you know where I can get some clear tail lights? These cars are real sleepers!

You Rang?????

Let me start by saying that I am a 30 yr old professional that has had custom wheels on every car(approx 12) since my 1984 Camaro Z-28 H.O. and never has ANY wheel been so well made, kept up, and balanced to a car. MOMO'S can be serious $$$$ but well worth their weight in gold.

Wheels are weight matched, have custom hubcentric rings installed, and an inner lip to slightly hide wheel weights.

I had BBS, Elite, Enkei, Niche, Cragar, and Prime wheels and none of their finishes held up this well and I am an extremely clean fanatic meaning they should always look good as they are cleaned twice weekly!!! The only other wheel I would buy is Fiske and they look better on domestic muscle cars like my previous Ram Air Trans Am.

One hint......use wheel cleaner from www.griotsgarage.com as its the best. No harmful acids, multiple finish cleaner, and you can watch brake dust turn into dirt peebles on contact kinda like burnt rubber pellets , NO SCRUBING. Buy it by the gallon....and use a small spray bottle.

you funny guy ... but I already bought it! I got some type R stickers for it (now it's got like 607 HP) and I'm gonna go run it at the track against those top fuel drags.

Make sure that you ditch the unneccesary weight;i.e., seats, a/c, body frame. You know, the usual. I'm in to making sleepers myself. I have a john deere tractor with ported headers, custom hks exhaust and nitrous.

Depends on what you want. They do make some wheels that are lightweight and for racing, but you don't see them in 19" wheels sizes! If you are putting 18-19" wheels on your car you are necessarily concerned about the weight. You get into top dollar wheels costing as much if not more than momo's in those sizes for lightweight wheels.

I personally love the momo wheels and I really like the M1's like rocketshipon19's have ... I just can't get him to sell them to cheap enough

Why he won't sell them for a loss I don't know j/k

Although I have won his auction several time w/o meeting that damned reserve!

Yeah I know, I had to cut down on the weight of my exhaust system. I finally figured out that I need to take the coffee out the exhaust can to get it to work right!

man i d@mn near gave those wheels away for 2100. Then I came to my senses because I have too much in them(3500.00) for me to give them away, especially since I have the 5th wheel. If you are serious we can work something out!
P.S. Decaf coffee adds horse pwr to your car! I use a pringles can on my tractor exhaust.

If you'd given those things up for that much and not me, I would have had to come down to m*****s and hunted you down! j/k

I am still interested, but how many mile do those continentals have on them now? PM me and we can talk about this again!

Pringles huh, never thought of that! I just thought you used those as tips for the coffee can
