Well, I finally got around to taking a couple of shots with the new wheels on the car, they aren't the greatest pics, but they should give you all an idea. These are Speedline 3 piece wheels that I got off Ebay. The previous owner had curbed every one of them, so I took them and had a local wheel repair shop refinish them. They came out very nice and look brand new. They are 17x9.5" front and 17x10" rear, and I'm planning on switching over to 315s on the rear in the near future.

That's a good question, I don't have a scale, but the 9.5s felt a little lighter than the stock Firehawk wheels, and the 10s felt about the same as the firehawk wheels. The stock Firehawk wheels are supposed to be 23lbs each.

I should say Nitto 555R 315, which fits a 10" wheel just fine (especially for street use). I have a seperate set of wheels for race use.

Sure you can borrow the party barge Mitch, of course right now it needs new plugs and wires on the motor, a new capatain's console, captain's chair, couches, carpet, and wench. Tell you what, you fix all those, and you can borrow it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

LT4...is that wench you need just for working barge parties? If she's gonna work full time that's a pretty tall order for poor ol Mitch. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) All the other stuff is easy though. And just LOOK at that yard! You people disgust me!

Maybe I should have checked my spelling on that, I meant WINCH. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And yeah, the yard looks nice, but you should try mowing/maintaining all of it. Even with a riding mower, it takes a good 3-4 hours every week just to mow it. Then the wife decides it needs some trees, and oh yeah, the underbrush on the other side by the creek needs to be cleared out, and then the driveway needs more gravel (of course I'd really love to asphalt or concrete it)... Of course, on the plus side, I can walk around on the back patio in my boxers if I want (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) so yeah, it's kind of nice when everybody in the neighborhood has at least 3 acres.
