I am picking these up today. I don't have a good reason why beside that I always love simple 1pc 5 spoke wheels, the size and offsets are good, and they were cheep.

17"x9" et 35
17"x9.5" et 38ish the owner didn't know off hand but I will measure them tmrw.

Maybe next seasons winters or just a refinish and sell project. can never have too many wheels.

Thanks guys, I am leaning towards full polished gold bolts.

I need to find one OEM center cap because one is damaged, if anybody has one PM me please!

OZ Monte Carlo's on 9" et 32 9.5" et 36 215/40 215/45 no center caps

I'm at JFK headed back to the Bahamas, I have a few orders to place while I am gone but other than that things will be moving slow for the next few weeks.

I will have my gf take pretty pics when the car is out of the body shop and I will
Post them up.

Bored in Bahamas Throwback.
This was the day after I mounted the Vette wheels in December, 2010.

The rear was only camber'ed like -1.5 but it was kinda low. I actually loved this setup, it needed a bit more camber and a little more low.

I still have these wheels I might throw them on some time if I can find tires for cheap, otherwise they are going up for sale.

Totally loved those works you had. Easy to change the style with a new paint sceam every month in summer : P then you post them up and make us vote for the best : P Nice thread, keep it up! can't wait to see the finished product

The equips will look so good!

I adore those green wheels, they were seriously noice.

Can't wait for the pics with equips on.

[tomshouse516]

I need to find 2.5" lips and 7" barrels for these. After mounting the OZ's I cant go back to measily 8" and 9" wheels.

[tomshouse516]

got a few things waiting at home for me when I get there.









I gotta figure out how to make my Ground control Camber plates wirk with the Bombers, or I have to make a custom top mount for the bombers that allow camber adjustment.

14mm-12mm stud conversion and 12mm wobble nuts

I also got plastic replacement center caps for my equips, one of the metal ones is broke and these were cheap, If I polish them I prob need to find a new OEM metal cap or two.


I can't wait to get home.

[tomshouse516]

Got some more cool stuf added to the parts stash for when I return hom from the Bahamas, which is taking far too long.


Toureg 17z Calipers *Brand new*




And some kewl stuff from ECS.

[tomshouse516]

In unrelated news, the car is still in the body shop but I think it is done. I called the guy today but he didn't answer and I forgot to call back.
My GF and my homie are going to pick it up for me, photos will be taken.



I am trying to make it to SOWO this year as well.

I would have to fly Bahamas --> New York on Wendsday,
Prep the car, swap the Bagyards and wheel studs on,
Drive solo 845miles to Helen Thursday,
sleep in the car, Party with all the homies,
Drive 845miles back to NY,
and fly New York --> Bahamas Monday or Tuesday.


Thoughts?
