Those wheels will look killer. Much like everything else you have done.

Hopefully I will have the $$ to get the wheels by the end of the summer. Thank you for all your kind words everyone... Took this video recently of the hydraulic trunk action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Tt5ULCyvs&feature=youtu.be  :bigsmile:

Those wheels will set this car off even more, if that's possible...

With this new intake, he should be able to run a functional shaker setup.   The base plate may need to be modified, but it should work.    I am in the planning stages to use this intake just for that.... a functional shaker on Gen 3 Hemi.

I'm looking to see if it may be for sale, no need for a shaker here.

Lookin good!  and great choice on those new wheels!  I always thought the 5 spokes seemed out of place with how incredible the whole rest of the car is.
