Those wheels and that render by Kris look killer. I bet pics dont do those wheels any justice from what they look like in person.

That was so I could see it right in the rear view mirror.

He did exactly what I told him to do, copy the original seats. He had to look at the rear seat to understand that there was supposed to be a difference and I had just not paid enough attention to what was actually in the car. Just assumed it had the right ones in it. You know what they say about assumming.........
I was
and he was saying, "but I copied the original ones".
Just another day in the life of rebuilding these sleds....Bill

And yes.. Forgeline is a good company to do business with. Which is nice since I will probley need them to change the backspacing on my front wheels..
Looking good Bill!! When will she be done for the photoshoot?

It's all good, I'm finally free from the Primedia death grip! All that's left to do now is to sit back and get paid! Originally Posted by Steve1969LS1

If you think a 65 GTO is not a huge sled, look at this picture of the 20 mocked up for the rear profile. It still looks small from this angle.

Bill, instead of getting the pic from directly behind the car, get one from behind it, but just off to the side of it. That will really show you how wide it looks. Put that car on the ground and be ready to take a crap.

I have not weighed them, but they feel the same as 335 / 18s. They are the same width at 13.8 section as 335 / 18s, but taller by 2 inches.
Here is a pic from the side on Bill's car, and as always, we try out every wheel on Prodigy to see what it will look like. The 345s really do a nice job of filling the 67 wheel wells, also 19s up front work well to.
BTW, that is ride height, with travel, on both rides. About a 8" rocker height on the GTO, 6" on Prodigy
