      My CCW'S

      Here are my new rear wheels...My first look by the car. 18x13" with 335's
      Did a quickie photo shop...
      Which looks better, black centers or polished?

      I'd have to see the rest of the car, but I kinda like the black centers. It looks a little more sinister.

      If the black match's the car then black, if not the polished will look killer

      how much work did it take to get the 13s to fit?

      and its a toss up. i think id have to see a complete shot of the car to decide. i think they both could look very good.

      Thanx For the input...
      This pic shows a little more...in my cramped 2 car garage.
      Trey, does your 79 have factory rear disc's ?
      If yes, can you get a pic of how the e-brake cables hook up on the rear axle?
      I picked up one of these rear ends for my formula...but it is missing parts...I think.

      PS.
      Oh yeah...To get these to fit, the car will have to be mini tubbed
      And either the rear springs moved inward....
      Or switch to a 3 or 4 link. I am planing on doing a 3-link with coilovers...
      That way I can easily dial in ride hight.

      Go with the black centers. I think it looks awesome on the black car.

      Thanx Guys,
      I will wait till it is almost done before I make the final decission...
      If I do go black...I will disassemble the wheels (3pc.) and have them powder coated or anodized. :icon996:
