Wheels for the "other car"

[Jack_96Lumina]

27 lbs (50 w/ tires) Stockers are 26lbs 17x9
18x9
Chrome Cobra Rs

I bought them dirty...


Then I washed, rinse, repeated....(these pics do not do them justice)




Anyone recommend a way to get rid of any road rash? I have a couple small spots.. only thing preventing these wheels from being perfect. (aside form the weight) if you don't have a fix for that, whats the best way to polish the "back" of the wheel? I have like 2" of chrome "lip" but then its pitted, and crappy looking. If I can't clean it up really nice, I will be painting the backs black... it will help the chrome stand out.

WHEELS

hahaha.... honest typo I swear...

BTW - You can't post unless you have pics of your "dubz" yo!

Really though.... I wanna see what you guys are rollin around on.

Anyone know the "formula" for rotating mass? Or the power lost when you add weight to the wheels/tires?

I want to test it myself on the dyno, but there isn't too much of a weight difference from stock to these...

That Z32 NA??

BTW - Those wheels are sharp... I originally wanted something to show off my huge brakes, but I think these will do the trick.

I just need some big brakes to show off... My brakes are nearly invisible in there!

yeah its a Bolt on NA...95' 45k miles....too nice to do a TT swap. Its about a 14.5 I have been getting a lot of people interested, so I shouldnt have a problem selling it. Later on I will pick up a Z32 TT so I wont mind modding it and beating on it.

I got the wheels on ebay from a guy who put em on his show car and didnt even put 1 mile on it......funny thing was it was a Red Vr4 :P

You want to talk heavy...Cast Aluminum 18" Momo Sports w/ 245/40/18's on them they weigh in at 66lbs, thats 11lbs heavier than the Factory Wheels and tire size...



Man, every time I see this pic I want her back.


For my 67 Cutlass I'm planning on a set of Boyd F16's 17x8 up front and 18x9 in the rear...

[patgizz]

on my 54 belair. 17x8 front (245/45) and 17x9.5 rear(275/40)

going to minitub the back to tuck them in cause originally it had 15x5 or so wheel with a skinny bias ply tire.
