Looks nice are those aluminum like the Weld Pro Stars ??? Im leaning to the new Weld RT-S in black but not sure yet :confused:

Yes sir, Jeg's has them on sale now so I pulled the trigger. I wanted the RTS wheels the most, but couldn't afford them. Post up if you go that route, would love to see them on a G body.

Ya thats me to I had the Pro Stars on my Last T and I just think they are over done on the T's Im still saving up for them looks to be around $2000 with tires and tubes and It pains me to screw tires to rears but that will have to be done to :(
We shall see how much money comes in over X mas as of right now sales for our company are so slow we just laid off 2 guys :(
 
What size tires? More info please!!

Looks great. I figured it was back halved. I was hoping to put 315's on my car, but doubt they will fit with only a notch.

Thanks...When I started my rear suspension upgrade, I had my mind made up to stuff a 315/60 under the car. After alot of measuring and figuring, we couldn't get the 315 inside the wheel well with just notching the frame. I wanted the sidewall to be inside the wheel well and to be able to get it down over the sidewall.

I could get a 295/65 inside with a full notch. With a 295/65 or 315/60, you will have to go with a full tub to sit the tire up inside and have a lower ride height. The factory tub rolls down and hits the sidewalls where it meets the wheel well lip.

Once we figured we couldn't get the 315 inside with a notch, the decision was made to backhalf the car. Things just kind of snowballed from there...
