Looks great! Were they out of 275/35/18s? I bet that thing drives like a go-cart.

Both pics of the car look really coolllll! Did you move the rear springs inboard or is it still stock? What brand/model of tires are now on the minilites? (What were on the previous rims.... they looked cool, too!). Is the car repainted?

here is a closeup view
Looks awesome.
What a surprise, I like them!
Do you have a picture of the front from the same angle view as the above picture? I plan on 17x9 with 5.25" to 5.5" backspace. I'm worried the centers look too pushed out and not deep enough. They would have a 1/2" to 3/4" smaller front side than your front rims.
IMHO, the look of the thin cast ring around the center on the 2 peice rims doesn't give the rim as deep look as a full cast rim. The full cast rims run the casting/color further out more toward the edge of the lip giving it a deeper look.

The 440 does have a edelbrock XT intake on it. I didn't see anyone running one at spring fling. Got a lot of attention from that and the distributorless ignition that I am running.

I have had a lot of comments on mine too, you just don't seem to see people run them very much in general? (maybe because of thier height? )

the only problem I had with clearance was the flange for the throttle body itself. I had to cut part of the flange off and cut out part of the hood scoop to clear it...which sucked to cut the hood after it was already painted.
