I posted pics of the wheels on here in the past. They are TSW thruxtons. I finally got the rears tires mounted but not the fronts yet as I am waiting for some valve stems. I have 1" spacers in the rear but the wheels are sticking out 1/4" too far because I have to cut the studs down yet. So this is just a mock up. What do you guys think?

Also does anyone know where I can get short lug nuts for my wheel spacers? I need them short enough to bolt to the stock studs and not protrued out too far to interfer with the wheel being bolted flush to the spacer.
 
Just so you guys know, it is hard to see but the car is jacked up, so the tires aren't touching the ground. Just wanted to state this before someone said that I needed to get rid of the 4x4 stance.
 
Slow but sure. I just took the last of the parts to the engine shop. He is going to balance everything, should be done this week. Then I will start putting it together. I have everything brand new waiting on the shelf except heads and cam. Waiting for tax return to get done. I will be able to at least get the short block done then once I order heads and cam finish the rest of the build.
 
As it stand right now I don't know if I like these wheels or the wheels I sold Dan better. After all that money it's a hell of a thing to realize at this point. So I am hoping that once the car is down and out side I will like them as much as I thought I would. I do like them but not sure if I like them as much as my old wheels. So I guess I am with you WHITE94COBRA.

Dan, think you might want to trade? lol

dude, the y2k's you had were sweet (and still are on dan's car!), but THESE--the dish, man, the dish is KILLER! after getting my rear dd's, i wish i could get some for the front in 17x9.
 
RC, I would but the car is in a million peices and on stands. Plus daylight consists of snow. I'm a picky bastard, I don't want my car in the snow. I will post some when the snow melts but for now I guess it is just a teaser!
 
Yeahloh95- I will work on that. Like I said the spacers need some work (cut studs down) so they are 1/4" further out than they are supposed to be.

Dark-5.0- I think I have some I can upload, maybe tonight when I get home from work.
