Thought I'd share the new look...

[Yamaha V6]

These are the wheels / tires I had on my old track car. Due to some good old-fashioned Yankee Swapping, they're back on one of my cars.

They're 17x8 Mille Miglia MM11-2's, running 245/45-17 Falken Azenis Sports.

I keep muttering to myself, "none more black".

 

[Jonny Cash]

Glad to see your sporting my rims

Yea.. Id say its too much black.

Hey, stay off my "turf", Jay. :laugh_ti:

See, I know you need all your money for the other project for your 91, so I'm actually HELPING you out by not making the wheels available. What a nice guy I am, huh?

 

[Shoaz]

Looks nice!

 

[mrecoolgar]

How is the fitment of the 245's?
I'd suspect some rubbing issues.

 

[GR8WYT]

There it is, the last suit you will ever wear.

THAT is the car that should have been used in M.I.B.

Looks great!

 

[Toolman]

How come as soon as I sell my beloved triple black plus that everyone starts posting pics of their black gen I's?!?!

Sweeeet ride Fred!

The wheels are +42 offset, too much for the rears, perfect for the fronts. I would rub against the strut housing if not for spacers in the back. I need about 2-3mm additional clearance to clear the strut. With the 5/16" spacers temporarily back there, the flares would have rubbed. I cut back & rolled the rear flares a tad to make more room. I'm machining the spacers down to about 1/8" to better split the difference.

The shape of the tire & the actual treadwidth will also impact fitment - the ones I have are fairly rounded on the outer edges, helping things out a little.

Those wheel/tires bring new meaning to burning rubber! :laugh_ti:

 

[BlackonBlack89]

Yea.. Id say its too much black.

no way I love black SHO's with black rims

[whiteman_01]

That right there.... Is the reason i want a gen 1.

 

[Mels]

Looks good Fred. This car has come a long way

Randy'll be here all week, remember to tip your waitress!

Good seeing you again Randy, been a long time. As you mentioned, now we gotta convince Gibbs to come out for another midnight engine swap in a small confined garage with a bucket of Berryman's again. If only we could get Chop down to eat my fries & drink my beer again too..

 

[FoeSho]

looks GREAT!!!

 

[nothingtoseehere]

Defintly. Gibbs should just move out here.

I found a wheel similar to the one I showed you in tirerack...with black center instead of polished...next time I head up to Cumberland I'll show you. I may get them...now that I magically came into some mad cash

 

[Yamaha V6]

All your Cisco are belong to us!

 

[dosmoney]

i like the look!

 

[93silverbulletSH0]

Holy Darth Vader mobile, Batman.

That right there.... Is the reason i want a gen 1.

...I second that.

 

[NotSoSlowSHO]

That black Gen 1 is HOT Fred

 

[GeneSHO]

Looks killer. Black 'N' Black. I like it.

As Darth Vader once said "Luke, I am your Father" :laugh_ti:
