I've seen some bent 5Zigen wheels. Might want to spend your money elsewhere. BBS, Borbet, OZ. Just goofing on TireRack.com, I think a 16x7 OZ Superturismo in bronze with a custom polished 2" lip would look stellar. Or if you're going to race it, forget the lip. They're about 18lbs a piece and strong as hell.

Question for Egg: is this a competition? I just want to know really, just wondering.

Okay, the truth is... we are identical twins.

You would be surprised how many classic car enthusiasts there are nationwide (maybe even worldwide).
Maybe that's why '69 Hemi Chargers, which sold used in 1980 for about $5,000 are now selling for about $50,000 and up (way up).

Nope, not a contest of any kind. It's just a fun way to prove ownership of whatever car you have. It originated out of need for proof in the face of idiots who claim to have a car that they actually don't own.

wow those are 2 HUGE cars, I saw a old cadilac the other day parked infront of the video store. It's back end stretched an extra 3 feet out front all the other cars....you must get noticed in both of them.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I've got some photos somewhere of my cars parked next to smaller ones and they stick out very far. I'll post them when I can find them.

I will if I see one parked somewhere.
I have parked it next to one of those electric Toyotas. It was the '76 limo... it stuck out about 4-5 feet!

I have to see if I can find the pic of our '68 Cad we had at the school auto shop on the lift over our BMW 2002. That was freakin hilarious.
