Vision 571's, 15X4 and 15X10. They are a Chinese knockoff of Billet Specialties. Heavier, but about $500 a wheel cheaper.

Went back to a 26" tall front. Slicks are 9X30 radials.

It definitely looks more aggressive and less like "Your Grandma's Slant 6"! :D

Just ordered some gratuitous feel good parts for my carb. Got some float bowls with the windows in them to make it easier to set float level, a new rear float with jet extensions, and a pair of BLP bottom exit needle/seat assemblies. I am trying the needle/seats to see if I can get away with running 3 or 4 pounds of fuel pressure. It is supposed to stop aeration of the fuel and keep mixtures more stable.

Mainly, it just gives me a chance to tell people I have cool stuff in my old wore out carb. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I LIKE! Let me elaborate, it changes the whole look of the car. The dark wheels make the blue look more vibrant and comparing the two photos, the previous version now looks dated. Another way to say it..... BADASS!
