Maybe its the angle or polish, but when I compare them to a photo (taken by PO) of my wheels, they are monstrous. I was thinking they are Lindseys. I just ordered a set of Lindseys today and was looking for black cabs with polished fuchs for comparison.

That looks just like my car. If I washed it. And polished the rims. And got a new top. And a better paint job.

Yes, that would be my baby! Glad you like it.

The wheels are plain 'ol 16X7 and 16X8, polished by Al Reed himself. The tires are the stock size - 205/55 in front and 225/50 in back. I think Bridgestone might make a "wide" tire relative to other manufaturers. In addition, my car has been lowered a little bit to slightly lower than "euro" height to help the car settle down onto the tires and fill the wells better.

Thanks for the comments.
