Thought I'd Join In

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Yeah, MIspeed died out and will no longer be funded. I thought about getting the domian name, hosting it, and maintaining it....not sure if it would be worth it.

Welcome I have seen this car over on TGO a few times! Nice car, and I dont say that much for verts!

I see you have Fittipaldi Force wheels. I just picked some up thinking I'd be doing something nobody else has. So much for that idea

Still need to wrap & loom, polish, and spit shine. It's a start though.

Not sure if I will keep the Eagle 077's. I think I might go with Y2K chrome deep dish. At least the car is washed....thank you December rain!!

[meissen]

Gorgeous!

[TylerT/AZ28]

i thik the eagles look good. the same guy you were yelling about who had the same rims on his car as you wanted had a set of those as well, but he sold hem. are those 17's?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Thank you

I just think chrome and a little lip would do wonders. The car came with Boyd Coddington Magneatos but I really want to keep them on the Bel Air - A)I think they work better with the 55 and B) I don't want to spend all that time polishing the rims on a daily driver.

The Eagle 077's have new 255/40 17s on them now, a little smaller diameter than what I'd like. 245/45 17s rub up front with the Spohn A arms I might run a 17/18" setup with a 10.5" wide rear rim with a taller rear tire if I get the DD Y2K...right now the tires look too skinny from rear. I don't have the money for a killer set of rims unfortunately - $750 is my limit, and that is if I sell one of my other toys or a TON of the spare parts I have on the shelves.

Wanna sell the fittipaldi wheels? I HAD a set of them... I sold that car in my sig with those wheels. I loved them actually... Or you have any other wheels youd like off your hands? lol yes I had those eagles too in polished but I wasn't a fan of them or 18's on my car... If you don't like the eagles I'd be interested too since they are 17's

[TylerT/AZ28]

darren i hate you

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I may sell both sets.

The Eagle's are polished, they need to be completely redone though. One wheel had a bend and crack on the inside, a friend and I heated/bent/tig'd it back up. Not perfect but very usable. I have $542 total invested in them, tires have maybe a thousand miles on them (Nankang NS-I). I had to put them on my Jimmy when I punctured a sidewall, couldn't afford new tires for that right away.

Fittipaldi's need the clear coat redone. Center caps are missing. They are ET20's (fit BMW M series and 5 series), not 40 like others . I have a friend who might buy them for his BMW. If not - $150 is my price.

[Darren]

I'll take the second set if we could figure out a time or place to meet! The fittipaldis that is if you sell them. Although I'd need to run spacers again but that'd be ok with me. If you sell them keep me in mind!

Edit: of course I'd want more info if you sell them maybe a few good pictures too. They are 17's, correct?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Yup, 17". I can have them blasted and powder coated for dirt cheap at my friends work. I thought about going that route just to save hours of sanding and clear coating. Here's a better picture, I will take hi-res ones later (three of them are still wrapped up and in my Jimmy). The scratches are only in the clear, I haven't found any that touch the aluminum yet. As for spacing, you only need a 1/2" spacer for the front, the rear should be within an 1/8" from stock backspacking. Mine is all different because of the LS1 brakes and wanting them flush with the inside of the fender lip.

darren if u want either of these i can meet up with mike and get them over to you sometime soon.. i might be heading that way for the lil meet up on the 30th.. but if not i will be heading that way sometime over my winter break. you just have to have everything set up with mike first and then pitch in a little for fuel

This would work! Mike you want to sell them? I'll be interested to see pics of all four wheels to decide. Looks like I need to strip and polish and clear! Just like my old set, lol

Do you know the back spacing or where they ever on your car? Or made for a 4th gen f body?
