What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

What a crazy couple of weeks.... Got back from a 34 hour flight from the Maldives on our Honeymoon Friday, was home for no more than 30 minutes and then proceeded to immediate leave the house (and wife) to head over to the shop to get my car aligned before leaving a few hours later to go to Heaven's Landing for a 1/2 mile drag race.

I know the "ghetto" wheels probably won't appeal to some, or most, but they are growing on me. Regardless, the car drives SOOOOO much better now with a 275 tire on the front instead of the skinny drag wheels!

Some quick iPhone photos

And a little video of the event. Made 3 passes with the car and was within 2 mph each pass with very consistent 140 mph speeds.

Ghetto? They're not 20" or bigger, and they're not "dubs." I like the look, but also liked the drag set up.

True, they do look really big. I think it is the smooth lip, which I really like by the way and part of the reason why I spent so much on this particular wheel, but it makes the centers look much larger. I had a number of car friends see them and ask if they were 20" wheels.

I might get the centers painted a slight shade darker because in bright light the cast aluminum almost looks white, which I don't like.
