Project first muscle build Skull wagon

[307 Regal]

Lower it an inch or two after you get that turbo on. :wink:
I love those slotted wheels. I always love slotted wheels.

Thanks, but I don't know if I am going to keep them. I want to go a little bigger wheels, so they tuck better.

I just ordered a Hotchkis front sway bar. 😀 Next paycheck is Hotchkis springs, so it will be lower.

Yea, that's the one drawback to them. Size. I'm having a hard time finding nice wheels in the "16-"17 range for when I finally get better brakes. The only wheels I ever find are either "15s or "18 and up. That or they're the wrong bolt pattern. If you're ever browsing around the web and come a across some cool wheels that fit our cars then please post a link to their page. :wink:
Make sure you pay attention to the condition of your sway bar bolt threads. Especially on the frame. Mine stripped out and I had to re-tap them. :shock:

What do yall think about these. 17 in front 18 in back. I have some 265/45/18 tires I can use.

It'll probably look decent. They've got that popular "Torque Thrust" style and the black will tie in with the roof and hood. Make sure they have the right offset. I can't remember off-hand what it should be.

I wasnt in love with them, but Im not finding a lot that would look good. I think Irocs might look good also.

These are the ones I really wanted, but they dont have 5x4.75 pattern. There is a 5 bolt pattern but I forgot what it was.

Definitely would've worked for the Skull Wagon theme, that's for sure! I guess they're truck rims though.
Have you looked at iForged or BBS?

If I was loaded, I would've bought these in a 17 already:

Those wheels are what started me on this theme. I just emailed Moto Metal to find out the 5 bolt patterns and backspacing.

I want to use black wheels with crome lips if I cant use those skull wheels. They kinda look like punisher skulls.

I got my Hochkis front sway bar in and put it on. Night and day difference I cant wait till I get the springs and rear sway on to see what the difference will be.

I had one of the sway bar bushing bolts rip out on the test drive, so tomorrow I will retap it. Nothing ever goes as planed.

I got the propotioning valve but waiting on the ss lines.
