Jordan White Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hmm I would say both look great and also go well with the theme, though I would lean towards 6 since I like the look of 5-spoke wheels! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I printed a similar set of wheels, and most likely be putting them on a Lightning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old style are still the better choice. They just fit the lines and truck style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffman Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thank you, Anton! Those are 17x8's, Vision Legend 5. I adapted American Racing "Daisy" center caps. The tires are 235-65-17's up front and 275-65-17's in back. Lowered.......a bunch. Lot's of work! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 So I think I have decided.. I gave the C5R wheels my best effort but still when looking at them straight ahead they look bad. The Pegasus 23’s are to big, so I will go with the Nismo’s or I guess I call them Advans. This is almost ride height, the tires will just be touching the edge of the body so it’s gonna be perfect when done right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Made some needed adjustments to the radiator support. Starts to look good. I think I will make the lights a bit more shallow before putting it on cults. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Not Mitch progress lately so every time I get some bench time it feels like progress. Got the lights glued in and started filling with CA and baking soda from behind to get a strong fixation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
