New Wheels

[Vette Killer]

My new CCW 505A wheels cleared machining QC and are off to polishing this week...should be mounted and shipped by the end of the week :)

Michelin Super Sport 285/35/19ZR up front and 295/35/19ZR rear....should be really stuck to the road in the corners, tired of drag radials that only hook in one direction. Will post some pics when they are on the car.

Nice!

Love the 500's and 505's. :avatar:

[Carnut]

Those should look nice polished.

Got enough room left for tire chains?

[Vette Killer]

Here is a pic to show the combo....although it is on a newer GT....you can get the idea of what the stance is

WoW, This is the exact same set up I decided to go with only I'm still on the fence deciding between the SP500's or the 505A's. (I Love them both) I plan on ordering in the next couple of weeks. Looking forward to seeing your pics.

[overtime]

I have the SP505a's installed. You will love the look, however, when it comes time to polish you may think otherwise. Just kidding. But they take awhile to polish. I do mine each winter in the basement while I watch football. As soon as I pick up my new Shelby wheels (I won the $1,000.00 gift certificate at the Shelbyfest banquet), I'll have five sets of wheels. Not sure where I'm going to store them all.

I wonder if they make any for a '13 SHO PP.

I think John will make just about anything

Is it the end of the week yet ?

[Tommy Gun]

Which week?

[Vette Killer]

They are at the FedEx depot here, will be picking up on Tuesday AM (closed for Victoria Day tomorrow) but won't open them until next weekend as I am in Edmonton for meetings the rest of the week and then stepson's grad on the weekend...for sure won't be on the car for a few weeks as I have to pick up my truck the next weekend and get it home, out of province inspection, registered etc...maybe I should do a mock-up pic of those on the truck....

[Vette Killer]

I finally got them mounted on Thursday, will get some pics this weekend after I get the car cleaned up. Very happy with them, amazing work and is exactly what I was looking for on the car.

Has been a busy summer, I was approached to take over a significant portion of our business based out of Edmonton so have been house hunting and getting ready to move. Will be Stacey's neighbour (well sort of...I bought an acreage north of Spruce Grove) in a couple of weeks. Here is a link to the pics of the new place, it is just over 5000 sq feet on 2.2 acres, more house than I needed but to get a 5 car garage and some of the other features I was looking for all the houses are this size.

Might take a minute to load and then you can go to full size etc. http://homesite.obeo.com/viewer/unbranded.aspx?tourid=895303&ID=895303

How large is your family, VK? Wife, kids?

[68fastback]

Stunning place, VK! Hope the move goes well...

[Tommy Gun]

Hope you have a lawn service.

And hope they don't have a lawn mower like Joes :giggle:

Just me and going to have the GF move in and see how that goes.....my son was 24 this week and has been out on his own for about 5 years now


Stunning place, VK! Hope the move goes well...

Thanks :)

I negotiated their tractor in the deal, they have a JD 430....maybe I should race Stacey every week to see who does the lawn and snow clearing in the winter?

Those wheels look Great on your car. I keep on bouncing back and forth between the SP500's and the 505a's. Thats one of the reasons I haven't placed my order yet.
How wide are the wheels?

Am I the only one that still has 18" factory style wheels on his car?



Eventhough the rears are 11" wide. :giggle:

I actually wanted to stay on 18 but the tire selections are so limited I decided to go to 19

I still have the factory rims...though I am also looking into ordering a set of CCW's, hopefully next year's tax return...:hurryup1:

Any videos of your playing?

I have a couple friends who have played since we were teenagers and we share vids of us playing. We're getting better and hope to "maybe" be able to meet again some day and play together.... Would like to hear what you got? :)

[Alloy Dave]

Always admired those who can play music...wish I could play guitar. TG, do you play bass or 6-string? Acoustic or electric?

I assume you play ABBA songs? :look:

oops...just realized this is a tech thread...

Nice wheels. :look:

[Tommy Gun]

Never said it was a guitar. :look:

And no it's not the Tromboner. :look:
