OFFICIAL: wheel/tire picture thread... show em off!

Here's the first set of alum GN rims ever made. I had them made by Budnik Wheels. Here's the whole story, http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/br...eels/320013-first-ever-alum-gn-rims-pics.html for those that are interested in more details.

Rear wheels are 8" with a 4 1/8" BS, wrapped with 275/60/15 MT DRs. I run the thicker alum drums. If I had thinner (stock) steel drums, I would have gone with a 4" BS. Front wheels and tires are stock (7") dimensions. Car is lowered 1" at all four corners. With all I've done to this sled, it handels and rides nice, wont bottom out, even with people in the back seat. It does 1.50 short times and doesn't look too shabby either.:cool:

Gorgeous...
 
Would like to see more, good old American, musclecar wheels.:cool:
 
Are you going to hate me if I steal your set up, lol?!

Well,
If you do wish to "Steal my set up", first you'll need to get past the house alarm, the locked garage door, and the car alarm.

Then there's Robin...

However, my advice (and Robin's;) ) is to use the info here http://www.turbobuick.com/threads/first-ever-alum-gn-rims-pics.320013/ then order your own set from Budnik wheels. Just post pics on that thread and here so we can all see how they turned out.

Happy spooling.
Mike and Robin
