I’ve been working on a side project for a friend and it’s almost payday. The money is going into the old ‘Bird and in the next week I’m signing up for some aluminum rims for the old gal. I’ve nailed down the sizes and narrowed my choices to the two picturess at the right, both from Boyd Codington.
\nHere are the sizes:
\nFront<\/strong>
\n17″ x 8″
\n225\/55R17
\n4″ Backspace
\nRear<\/strong>
\n18″ x 9″
\n255\/45R18
\n4.5″ Backspace
\nThe first one is the Smoothie II’s that Boyd has made for a while. They are pretty easy to get (about a week or two) and not too expensive.
\nThe second one is called “Junkyard Dog” and is brand new. I don’t have pricing on them yet, but they will take 8 weeks to get according to Boyd.
\nI’m partial to the JYD (bottom) because it’s a little more aggressive with its ‘dished’ look rather than the ‘domed’ look of the Smoothie II. But if it’s significantly more money in addition to being more time, I’ll probably go with the Smoothie II.
\nAny thoughts?
