GreenMarineSVX finally gets his wheels
GreenMarine came up to Atlanta the other day and got his replacement wheels from us at the shop. I think they look sharp, you guys will have to be the judge.
They're ICW Trident in 18x7.5, +42 offset, wrapped in Kumho Ecsta 712s. I dig the polished lip. Here are a few pics, there are more of the mini-meet that followed but I will post them later. I have to say the car looked FANTASTIC when it was moving, it looked "expensive"...  The polished lip catches the eye just slightly when the wheel is turning, it looks great.

Requisite arty shot... more pics coming tonight. You'll notice his front wheel gap is kind of high.... due to the 5 speed weight difference. We'll fix that with the suspension very shortly.

WOW!
Freakin' car is gorgeous! Looks mighty fine there, Green. I really like that style wheel and the difference between stock and that is amazing when placed side-by-side. Your SVX looks really sharp and the finish on it is beautiful. Was that ever repainted or is it all original?
BTW...nice pics, Porter!

Also wanted to add that I am happy that you kept her and did not sell when you were considering it a while back.
Look forward to seeing you again at Reading V!

Hey, Porter -
What are you doing with his old stock wheels? I've got some Hoosier autocross tires that need a home -Bill
