martinfan5 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks Bryan, not as good as some of the paint work you do, or a lot of guys on here, some day I wish , anyways, moving on, getting some more work done I replaced the kit grill piece with some mesh screen, I think it looks better, plus the headlights have been installed taillights as well and working on the painting the trim, I always have bad with it, still need to clean it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I can get this one finished up, the wheels made it to me today Now, I am going to be making some changes to them, this was the closet to the style I have on the one in the pic, so I am going to remove the inner ring that is on them, like this and here is a quick mock up now trying to decide what tires to use, the kit tires or the ones that came with the wheels, on left is the kit tires, right ones that came with the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtracer2448 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I say use the kit tires in back while using the tires that came with the wheels up front, give it more of a (not really) raked look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eh? Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I agree with Tyler. From your picture, it appears that the kit wheels/tires are slightly bigger in diameter. The new set look basically the same except for the inner ring just inside the lip. The inner ring adds to the appearance of making them look smaller.

81zxing280 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yeah you know I think Tyler is right bigger in back smaller up front. I didn't even think of that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
