how much room do you have on the inside of the back wheels ? it looks like your backspacing should have been a little different to sink the wheels in just a little further.....

Thise tires look sweet on their. I am torn between original or something else when it come to the tires. Original is always good but they have so many nice looking wheels today. Nice Ride.

Are those the Boss 338's?  I plan on getting a set but can't decide on ether to get the chrome, black or grey, car looks sweet!

The wheels look awesome. I have been waiting to see the 338's on a car, and now I'm convinced. I gotta have them.

Where did you buy them, and what was the price.

I had planned on getting mine from this place, they seemed to be the cheapest I've found anywhere on the net.

I bought them locally as i could not find a good price over the internet in Canada, i had to pay a bit more but the service was worth it. I think i paid total of just over $2000 to get the rims and tires as well as 2 sets of lugnuts as i found out yesterday its not a stock rear end in it therefore they couldnt get them to match all the way around (thats fine though as two different sets of locking lugnuts will stop thieves.) That price also included mounting and balancing.

The car looks awesome man.  Now I can't wait to actually get stuff going on mine and get my wheels.  Are you going to do the suspension at all?

I would like to but im more concentrated on interior at the moment

Very cool TA man. That thing looks mean. Now you need to update you signature pictures. I plan on going with the gunmetal ones.

Title: Re: Winter Mods complete
Post by: PA Formula 78 on April 11, 2011, 10:47:15 AM

Yeah I almost bought the gunmetal ones at Spring Carlisle last year.  Those are the wheels I am going with when I get around to actually working on the car again.

Nice choice on the wheels and tires!  Your T/A has taken on a whole new look

Post by: firebird79_00 on April 14, 2011, 11:05:13 PM

Thanks i think it looks a lot more agressive now, when are we going to do that cruise up to Hope?
Also decided against pulling the muffler off, gonna look around for a decent set of headers and a flowmaster exhaust
