Don't know what they were. They were brand new 20" that the last owner in the states must have put on to sell. They didn't last long
Got a set of 14" magnums with the car so changed them over and sold these on sharpish
Looks so much better with the ride height set better and with the Drag lites

Plan on running it for the summer then am undecided on wether to put a 496ci stroker kit in or go the blower route

It's not the best paint but at least I won't have to worry about it for the time being. Might get a total strip down and bare metal sprayjob. I might spray it in a blood/black combo.
Wheels were bloody awful things and were gone within a week

They are chromed Challenger SRT8 wheels, or at least reps

Tidy ride. Nice wheels and generally cool groove all-round.
Funny how these cars have been overlooked from the auto-art perspective for so long .....

Looks good! Seems to be a trend in the States at the moment to put hideous wheels on otherwise good looking cars.

Also in the middle of a front drum to disc upgrade. Trying to use the easiest parts available. Using the original drum spindles
If there is any interest then I could have more of the brackets made up.

These are going under 15" Weld Draglites

Using
78 Cordoba 11.75" discs
Spindle spacers(Doctor Diff)
Standard Timken bearings
Landrover Defender 4 Pot vented calipers

Also having some braided lines built up to replace all flexi lines.

If there is any interest then I could get some kits put together, ie caliper bracket and braided lines
