Splurged on an All-In-One, so here's pix

Rent money came kinda easy this month, so me and the girlfriend decided to get a printer.  Turns out we could get an All-In-One.  Now I can get some new pics up.

Pic 1 is just my car with the 17's I picked up for cheap.

Pic 2 is from the fall...when we had our winter.  So far this winter all we have had is rain and warm weather.  :yuck:  (I ski)

Pic 3 is the girlfriend's 88 TC with my 15's on it.  I was putting on her new tires with my car at the time.

I'd love to keep these wheels, but I didn't get center caps!  I wish I could find out who made the rims and if I could get new/blank ones.

I'm not going to get rid of them like junk them or sell them.  I'm thinking of using them as racing rims...like at a road course.  If I can somehow find center caps...I'll use them everyday and get another set for the track.  I love the way the wheels look.  And it's hard enough to find rims to fit, but these were perfect.  I just don't know who made them or what they are originally off of.

I think I'm gonna resize that first one for my new avitar.

Oh and all 4 are bent, just a little, but noticable if you look real close in person.

yeah, it looks sweet. i was originally considering a burnt kandy orange for my car but the pic in your avitar is a little too orange. i wanted more red in it much more like the first pic there....looks much better imo. so wich one is closer too the color of your car anyway?

Thanks all.

Shame: It really depends on how bright it is outside.  It has like a blackish tint to it sometimes and others its like woah! bright.  Someone made the comment on my Cardomain about pearlescent colors....this is as close to a pearl color you can get without having two actual different colors.  Just different shades of orange.

Are you refering to the rims on the t-bird?

Measure out the diameter of the centercap hole and I'd be willing to keep my eyes out for anything that might come close if it were blank.  I'm sure there's a site out there that sells blanks in multiple sizes too.  But I seriously think that you have an awesome looking Cougar too.  Quite possibly my favorite one.

tbirdscott: no, those I have 2 sets of caps for...Cougar and Bird caps...well the Bird caps are from the stock TC rims.

Dakota:  It's not that easy, these caps cover the lug holes as well as the center hole.  I'll get pics this weekend of the rims and show everyone what I mean.  It isn't a matter of finding some X diameter flat circular caps.  The rims have like a drop in them and the center cap fills the "hole"....I'll just let the pics explain when I get them.  Plus they aren't flat, they contour to the spokes.
