no they are white already. probably off of a white cab. was wondering what they would look like in that combo. already googled it and didnt find any.



we may end up bead/soda blast them to a RS finish. you know to save weight. for the showroom stock cab from hell!


should give us at least .00000000000001mph more top end. LOL!


if we keep them white............we will look like a xmas candy cane mobile.

Yeah making that I almost threw up in my mouth...

At least go body-colored. Can't go wrong with black, polished paddles & black, or all polished.

well we already got uber spendy $$$$ polished 16x7 and 16x9's on it. sheesh that kicked my wallets azz.


so now i can take BFG R-1's,that i just took off polished rims to put street dunlops on, and put them on these i just bought.


my connect said he would charge me $25 bucks a wheel to transform them thru the wonders of soda blasting into RS wheels.


man changing tires and wheels back and freeking forth is an absolute PITA. now we have that one solved. car going to track............pull into garage, put jack plate on one side, jack up switch wheel sets, and repeat on other side and ready to go rip it up. then when we get back home do the same and thru the wonders of science transform it back into a street mobile.


ahhhh the wonders of science..................and my wallet.




man its a slippery slope.

All these changes are making us wonder why..WHY? We don't like too many changes. It frustrates us, and we get angry.

hysterical. thats what i love about this place is the HUMOR!


changes are GOOD when well thought out................over a few 1000 cold ones and every detail is addressed.

just happy as hell i scored these damn fuchs. had been looking with my finger on the trigger for awhile now(too long). when i saw what they are going for on evil bay, i about choked.


after calling NUMEROUS places and e-mails and getting LAUGHED at HYSTERICALLY............"16x9's? you have got to be KIDDING ME!" i finally had enough of that horsey poo and bit the big one and pulled the trigger on them.

should have them by wed maybe, and i will take pics of them sitting next to car for laughs.



now to scam a lil scrap metal here and there and weld a tire rack (lockable w/a moat and fire breathing dragon and punjii stakes) on our race car trailer. man it never ends. just getting to the track ages me.
