I was looking at the chop I did of my Sebring where I added the old skool BFGoodrich white letter T/As and out of curiosity I went to the website where I found the wheel/tire combo I intend to purchase for that car and plugged the GP in and they offer the same wheel style and T/As...its 15x7 Sportmax wheel and the comparable tire would be a 245/60/15 which offers just a touch larger diameter than stock. So I did a quick chop of the GP with this combo and it looks like a NASCAR street version...check out the fat white letter rubber (but I bet it would ride better)


got that whole stealth thing goin on cool

Hey Tony Stewart, this is what "Smoke" really looks like laugh

I'd like to have the first offer on your current wheels if you get new ones.

give this guy a medal for being the first very subtle and diplomatic vulture lol lol ...the larger issue being how in the world would you get them?
I wont be doing anything until after the union contract on May 15th...then you could PM me with your first offer.

And yessir mr Rook, the tires are quite a bit cheaper. thumbsup ...fine by me, I'll take looks AND price anyday.

I'm also thinking about going with the Monroe sense-a-trac quick struts and pulling my KYBs...that way I get a matched set of springs and hopefully a level ride height (and maybe a smoother ride as well...yes, I'm going all out for hi-way cruiser)

I thought you were done. So now you are getting new struts and wheels and tires again? I wouldn't mind those wheels on my car, the ones you may be getting rid of. They look so mean on your car too! I wish I went with monroes also, since I didn't replace springs when did kybs!

If I buy them I'll give you a UPS acct number to ship them on, via ground service.

Mind giving me info on where I can get those rims/tires for future reference? One day I might be able to afford a look like that. I've never been one to go for big rims and low profile tires (I'm more of a dragger, not a twister) and those have a very nostalgic muscle car look.

dont get me wrong, I'm stillplenty frustrated with the car and ideas dont put it out of the woods...if I do sell it off I'll wind up taking the time to de-mod it first.
However my wiser and better half told me plain the other night "You love that car and you know it, even if you have to spend a couple of grand, thats still cheaper than another car...its almost paid for, so dont be foolish"

what did I ever do to deserve this woman?
