Hey everyone, I got some new wheels, what do you think? :)

Out the door goes the 17x7.5 Mono II's chromies!

I got 3 center caps, one on order coming tomorrow. So now I have right side w/ the caps left one w/o.

Wheels are Bekker's replica of the SL 2piece. the wheels are actually 1 piece. 18x8. Rubbing? Son of gun yes. Tomorrow I goto TWS to take care of it.

Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE750 225/40/18
Enjoy the pics

They do come in 17's. I will get rid of the scrapping by pushing the fenders outward a little bit.

Very stunning car. I want wheels like those for my 126...I hope they make them for mine. The only suggestion I would have is to have those lips mirror polished. That would look awesome.

haha Thanks freestyler Time for you to go 18's!

The offset on the website was said to be 37..turns out it wasn't and was 34.

I went and had the fenders rollers, some of the body cladding cut away, and metal toward the front of the fender, and bumpstops put on my shocks, now I get no rubbing whatsoever, even under hard turns, hard braking, or loaded w/ 3 people

Dr. Clean

Nice job / that looks clean enough to eat from...

All you need now is some new black chrome trim to replace your sunburned strips...

; )


PS - F--K the 5-0: tint your front windows the same % as the rear sides and start limpin' down the street
in a white suit with an ivory cane with a silver skull ornament to lean on!!!


Peaaaaace: see you in the French Quarter, sho'nuff, Doctor!
