     :iagree:  I agree with Mike, usually rims that big usually don't look that good but they really fit well with your car.

    I really like the colors and hood treatment.  Loocks custom but not outlandish.  :thumbsup:

    I think its the black wheels.  Black wheels look smaller so they dont seem as big.

    I agree.. My wife loves the look... Im trying to finish the car up for the August Good Guys.. I have the 6 piston wilwoods, front and 4 pistons rear coming this week, with magnum force drop spindles, I have the Hotchkis adjustable strut rods and steering rods coming too... I already have upper tubular control arms, and front and rear sway bars... Car should be sweet for the GG show...

    Pretty cool looking rims, I like how they go with the car! Black and orange goes very well together :)
