New Foose Rims and Caliper Decals

xmicro_Redline · 05-12-2007, 10:24 PM

Well FINALLY!!! I got my Foose rims on and my caliper decals done and cleared today. I also installed the WOLO Bad Boy Air horn, it is supposed to be 2 to 3 times louder than the factory horn (and it is!).

Here are the pictures of today's mods along with my wife and I at the dam.

Enjoy!!

nice!!!!!!!

That caliper color makes that whole look............very nice

Your rear calipers...the lettering is so much better than mine...and it was put on better than mine...I am jealous. The color picks up on the entire car and the rims...looks great.

Very nice, Paul! I'm really digging those calipers!

Dat's SNAZZY!!

Thanks guys for all the comments! It is so satisfying to see something in your head and watch it all unfold infront of your eye's.

I grew up with a brother 7 years older than me with more classic cars in our driveway, between him and his friends, than I can remember. I wish I had just one of those, Corvette's, GTOs, Mustangs Fastbacks, Souped up Nova's, Camaro, or Firebirds now. I realize now how much I learned at 7 years old just fetching tools for my big brother in the driveway. You hear "I said a box wrench, not a socket you idiot" enough times and you learn fast.

Here's to car guys tinkering in their driveway to make it better

Because that is what makes dreams and visions turn to reality!!

I WILL TAKE PICTURES OF MY NEW WOLO AIRHORN, THAT I INSTALLED, TOMORROW!!

Awsome looking brakes and wheels...especially with the silver pearl...

**Rail Jockey** · 05-13-2007, 11:14 AM

I love the wheel's, what size and offset are they?

MrSmoker · 05-13-2007, 12:59 PM

Thanks guys!

They are 245 45 18 like stock. I am not sure of the exact offset. I do not have the original package. I just ordered them and told them the car. I can tell you they are closer to 0 than the factory. The factory wheel has a very positive offset since the mounting hub is so far out toward the outside of the rim. These rims are just even with the top of the wheel well in the back and just sticking out slightly in front. From the back it looks real fat. I say the stick out about 3/4" - 1" more than the factory if that helps you.

Those look GREAT!! Making me look forward to the day I get my own Redline and rims

Grandpa · 05-13-2007, 03:46 PM

The calipers are great. Wish someone would do mine!

ihawk95 · 05-13-2007, 04:01 PM

Those rims and calipers are hot! Love the paint job on the calipers!!
