Title: My New Wheels
Post by: WVEagle on April 11, 2011, 07:33:31 PM

 Thank for everyone input on wheels and sizes to help me out. I been wanting to put a new set of wheels on my Eagle . I found them at Summit Racing they are Cragar Chrome Super Spoke Wheels I order 15x7 with 4.5 backspacing and +13.00mm offset.

Here a picture of the stock wheels with I have my 4 studded snow tires on now .

I like the new look  ;D

I painted my drums and calipers red to match the bottom of Eagle and also make the wheels stand out better.

The tire are 215/65/15

I been getting a lot of looks at the new Eagle.

Make sure you wash them often and keep a coat of wax on them. Unfortunately the chrome likes to pit an rust fairly quickly.

             Well they look good I know this other Eagle in town where the guy replaced the originals with these horrible oversized "rims" and you just cringe 'cause it's otherwise a cherry 86 limited.
