Sten Gets new Wheels (and tires)

Yes, it's been a LONG time coming but the stock OEM wheels and tires were finally starting to either be scratched to hell, or getting thread bare.

So I got new wheels from wheel max.

17 inch Toyo Proxer 4 205/40's

17 inch BK-7 Exel wheels.

I got these because they are spartan and not to over the top. They fit the car nicely though and the ride is still smooth.

Thanks for all the great comments guys. Next is rear tie bar and hopefully RRM Header which I have laying around.

Yes, the car has been lowered, but I like the current height. to me it doesn't look to bottomed out or low. I think the reason you see so much gap is the tire size, these are 40's so they are a little thinner then 45's or 50's.

Next after these mods will be a new grill/front end and a rear wing. That should give the car it's final unique look.

Thanks again guys!

i just refer to all of them as mr 7 as i dont care... and i feel lips are getting played out ...
