baby got a new pair of shoes

finally scored a set of funnel spokes. they are the staggered with 245/45/17 rear and 225/45/17 front. I needed 10mm spacers in the rear.

Nice! There's a Chip Foose-iness to it.

Funnel spokes? They look like Torq Thrusts to me.

10mm spacers in the rear, if they were both the smaller size instead of the larger rears they would have fit without spacers. I got hub centric spacers from fleabay

yes they are curbed in a few places. My long term intention is to paint them anyway, thats why they were so cheap. these wheels have a very fragile finish.

Probably pretty good. They might fit without spacers too.

Kinda modern for my tastes, but they could work. you need some euro's to help the look. Maybe a slight drop all the way around.
