I haven't been able to work on the 34 for awhile but last week I saw that Speedway had the front wheels I want on sale. They are $80 off what Speedway normally sells them for but just $26 dollars cheaper than what I can buy them direct from Team III. I still couldn't quite pull the trigger thinking that only if they had free shipping. Well I got a promo code for $7 shipping today so I went ahead and ordered them. Now if only I can get a good deal on the rears I want. Those are almost $500 a piece.

Cool, collecting one piece at a time, or in this case two at a time, does get the job done. Got to watch for those deals to come along. For me its usually when I don't have any money, which seems most of the time lately. Gene

Thats the only way I can do it. It's surprising how fast you can save some money. I collect my change, a little bit from my weekly allowance, and a $70 a month check I get from an inheritance. The wheels I ordered are 4.5" wide.

I love those wheels! I often visit the Team III sight to drool over them. A really nice choice for old cars like ours too!
I am another of the one piece at a time group. It took me about ten years to piece together the engine I built for my car, and then sold!
The "finance minister" at our house was not happy with me for that!
Great looking wheels Arno!

I dig those wheels too!
Those and the ET Fuelers on the back are what I'd run on the cuda if a bunch of money fell out of the sky...

Hi Ron,
The promo code is MD2012 but when I went to check out it just gave me the $7 shipping. I never put in the code. ???

I would love to put the Fuelers on the back of mine too, but they don't make them wide enough to fit the tires I have. My tires need 14" wide wheels and they only make fuelers up to 12" wide. I'm probably going to go with the five window wheels 15" wide unless I can find some decent size tires that will fit on the 12" wide fuelers. The tires I have found so far are quite a bit smaller than the 33x21.50x15 tires the car was built around. I think something in the 31x18x15 would still be OK looks wise but are still to big for 12 wheels. If anyone has some other ideas as far as running the 12" Fuelers, I'm all ears! I love those wheels!

Thanks for the heads up. I am aware of that issue because of an earlier thread. I don't think I will have an issue because I am running Wilwood rotors but will definately check them out first.

Way to go Ron! I thought it was to good to pass up on also! I got mine today and they look awesome. They fit very nicely on the Wilwood rotors. Hope to get the tires mounted Monday.

Got my tires mounted on my new wheels today and then mounted on the car. I can't get a great pic because of "stuff" piled in the garage during our remodel but here is the best I can do. I think they match the theme of the car very well.
