I think she just honestly doesn't like the grille at all. I also want to do black bowties with a red outline or red inside with the chrome outside like the SS is and she nixed that too. She likes the gold bow ties... Oh well.

Jr, I like the Heritage look too, but I'm just not 100% sold on it. Part I like best is getting rid of the bowtie. For what it's worth, yours looks great with the stock grill, just black out the bowtie.

After much consideration, I've decided to keep my Savini wheels. Thank you, jr, for talking some sense into me. I may still get a set of rear wheels for the track at some point. I'll probably sell my stock wheels once the Savinis go back on my car at the end of the month.

You're welcome!! It really looks killer with the 22s!!! You should get decent money for the 20s if you have tires and sensors with them.

Darth_Emma · 02-15-2011, 11:32 AM

Yeah, I bought new sensors for the 22s so I could sell the stock wheels with the tires and sensors on them. My stock wheels don't have very many miles on them.

My stock wheels are bagged in plastic sitting in my shed. I should take them out and clean them real good, but I haven't had the motivation to do so.

You should sell them. I'm getting ready to try to sell all my take off stuff. I will never use it again.

I may just keep them, but I do plan on selling my current wheels when I get a new set. I'm thinking of dropping down to a 19" Forgestar wheel to further decrease the rotating mass. The 20s look great, but I'm more into improving performance than looking pretty.

Darth_Emma · 02-15-2011, 12:24 PM

I wish I'd known I was going to be near 600 rwhp when I was thinking about wheels. I'd have gone with 20s (maybe even 18s on the back) instead of 22s. The 22s look GREAT, but they don't hook well. Makes it easy to do burnouts - too easy in fact.

I tried to sell the 22s, but no one seems interested in paying anything for them. I'm not going to give them away. So, I'll keep them and get a set of DRs for the back of the car if I decide to take my car to the track.

That's what I've been doing. Better a few bucks in my pocket than boxes gathering dust in my garage.

I agree. When I bought my wheels last year I wish I would have went ahead and went with 19s then. I actually considered it, but then changed my mind at the last minute.

I've given everything away that has been taken off my car other than my wheels. I'll keep em until I get tired of them taking up space.

Too much salt and meltwater on the roads around here to get Merlin out - I'm hoping that by the end of the week I can drive those flat spots outta his tires :-)

Need me to take him through his paces?
