I like the old school look. Only one thing would make it look better. A taller sidewalled tire on the rear. But being FWD it'd be out of place but asthetics wise :wow:

As for handling/response etc I wouldn't think they'd be anyworse then a standard all season long treadlife tire.

The lucky gent will most likely be the first one with enough cash. I'm also pretty sure I'll be selling them as a set. Splitting them up I think will make it harder to sell the other two. I havent quite settled on a price but I know it will be $400 or above. The tires are thin but not shot so I think they are easily worth that kind of money. I'll need to locate some boxes that will hold them and I think Bobby is about right on the shipping. I'm fairly sure it will be at least $20 per box, depending on the overall weight.
I'll get some pics up soon.

As much as I loved your car with the Bullitts TBat, I've gotta say I really like those rims on your car. I don't think I've ever seen a GP with anything like those and I have to say I'm loving the retro look. I wasn't really sure how it would turn out but even with the complete 180 on design choice I still you think you have one of the best looking GP's.

By the way, how's the ride now?

Sorry dude, my bad on that one laugh

Summit offers the Sport as well as a Star wheel based on what style you like. They are both $107 per wheel and any order over $100 carries flat $11.95 shipping rate for 3 day ground. So all in youre looking at less than $230.

REALLY diggin the sig, it is a nice retro look that only your car can pull off, IMO. I still dont care much for the rims, though. Glad you're enjoying your choice, that's what really matters, after all. So you are takin the Bat to Utah, then?

We've been planning a cross country trip for a few years now and its looking like it might happen next summer. Salt Lake City and the Flats will be one of the stops on the way out west to Oregon. Then Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore and some other points on the way home.

I've had the struts for a couple weeks now but either work schedule or weather hasnt been cooperating to get it done. As long as I have it ready to roll by Easter I'll be good.

I have to admit, I thought you were nuts when you said you were getting rid of the 18s. But I really like the new look. Good for you for doing what you like, and not following the latest trend.
