Excuse the mess, its been raining all day. Heres the final look with the bullet rims. Im pleased with the look. The tires fill the wheel wells and do not rub. If I was to lower the car no doubt they would rub.

That is SO on my to-do list .. I saw a Cobra with those rims today, and oh how I wanted to hit the guy and steal them.  They look SO good on GPs .. How much did it end up costing you, if you don't mind telling?

Redgie,
Those rims look hot!!! That is a nice look. I've never seen a GP with the Cragar SS/Bullit style wheel. You've got me second guessing my rims. Should've went with 18's though. Still it looks great. Keep it up.

If you paint some of the components and get some nice center-cap decals, it will look perfect. It's too flat with the gray centers.

Ok quick side note no hijack. Take a look at the center of the rotors. The area around the hub.  See all that rust. You can paint that area with no problems. For the record mine are black.
