Got the new wheels on the NastyNova!

#1 Post by nastynova » Tue Dec 16, 2008 5:18 pm

Finally the new wheels showed up for the front of the Nova, I replaced the Weld Draglites with the new Weld Magnum 1 Pc. wheel in the front. Anyways here's a picture if anyone is interested.

Nah unfortunately the only wheels I can get to fit in the rear are the 15x8 Magnums and they just don't look right with the required backspacing, so I'll just stay with the Draglites and deal with it.

Its all good, its crazy how much wheels really change the way the car looks aint it? When I changed my wheels I couldn't believe what a difference it made.
