    To start it off, I am Aaron. I'm 22. I'm in the Air Force, stationed in Japan, with an Assignment to England in April.

    My car list:
    88 Firebird Formula 350 *built*
    90 Mustang GT *stock... for now *
    93 GMC Typhoon *stock... for now *

    Here is my collection first, and I'll post pictures of my rides at the end.

    Stern 17x9 +14 and 17x8 +6 offset 5x114.3


    Speedline Mistrals17x9 +25 5x114.3


    Here is a picture of my Formula on Ronal R15 17x9.5


    I'll post pictures of the Fox and Typhoon later... Enjoy!

    And yes, the wheels will be refinished. I will probably sell the Sterns and Mistrals... I am going to be picking up another set of Sterns in 17x7/17x8 with a stepped lip in 5x114.3.

          Yeah, me too. I was thinking about putting them on my Fox, but I am not too sure what my plans are for that car... I might sell it since I got the Typhoon. I have too many cars on m bucketlist... so wheels are always good.

              Thanks for your service! I was actually going to be getting out in January, but they offered me a 2 year tour in England, so I extended 26 months to take it. I have been at Misawa for almost 3 years now. I am leaving the desert in 2 weeks, so that will be nice. It's a bit hot out here!

                  Thanks! I love them! I bought them for my Formula... I have been looking for a set for a few years now, so when I finally found a set, I dropped a pretty penny for them, and they still need to be refinished. Only thing I am not too fond of, is they are corvette offset, so I have to run ~2" spacers. So I am going to try to find some 1.5" wider lips, then just have the front barrel narrowed 1.5"... I know it is a pipe dream to find lips/barrels for them, but who knows... I have seen 1 set made for thirdgen offset and it had a HUGE dish...

                    What are the chances of finding lips for the Epsilons?

                      Slim to none. I've been looking for barrels for mine with no luck. Best bet is to have them made to your specs.

                      I'll see if i can't find you the link for a guy i was talking to about making some stepped lips just like the original epsilons...

                        Here are some shots of my Typhoon... plan is to drop it, paint the cladding the original dark gray and put it on my 02 Camaro SS wheels painted to match the cladding...

                          Oh, and here are the fox! Not sure what I have planned... Probably end up selling it. Or an On3 turbo grudge car.

                            No luck with the link i was looking for...it was quite a while ago.

                            Try http://www.memoryfab.com/

                            Might be spendy but they can get you what you need.




                            Great collection of wheels BTW...and i love Typhoons!

                              I'll just run 2" spacers until I figure something out... These wheels are super hard to find in Vette offset, and even harder to find in 3rd gen f body offset. The only set I have seen in 3rd gen offset had a crazy extreme dish that I though was a bit too wide.
