finally got my wheels!!!

[72step]

Can anyone post the pics for me if I email them? I can't reduce the size enough......Thanks

What program are you using to resize? Also, what system do you have (windows 98, XP, Etc)?
I may be able to help you figure out hoow to do it on your own. You know the old saying, "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to use the internet and he won't bother you for weeks."

You can send them to me and I'll get them for ya.

The link to Irfanview, it is a free download, easy to use for resizing pics. A lot of people here use it.

I had to resize them to nearly nothing in order to get them under 100,000 bytes but here goes.........

Is there any tricks to get them to shrink in file size but keep a decent size pic??

[superfly68]

if you guys change the resolution to 72 verses whatever it is you can get a much larger image to post. mail the originals to me if you can't.

actually they wer at a resolution of 300. this should work.

[superfly68]

here it is at at size of 600x450 and a res of 72ppi (pixals per inch)

and a sixe of 67k!

[superfly68]

nice rims man! what size? and the golden question... how much? i would like something simular and want to know how much i am looking at saving up.
time to go do this!

[sactoC10]

Yep, they do look good...so is that a 67/68 Mustang peeking it's top out in the backgound there?

[72step]

superfly68-Thanks. They are Boyd Coddington Magnetos Rear-17x10 5.5" bs-275-40-17, Front-17x8 4.5"bs-245-45-17. Everything out the door for just under 1400. I'm hoping to drop it a tad more in the rear later on. When you said the resolution was 300, is that pixels? On mine it was reading 72...? Hmm.
sactoC10-Yes that's my 68 mustang behind that.

[72step]

I'd also like to mention that I have some rally wheels for sale in the parts board if interested let me know............

[superfly68]

yes is was 300 PPI (pixals per inch)

man that's a lot less than i thought! i was thinking like $2k or so. NICE!
so that's a 10 inch rim with a 5.5 offset?

[72step]

Yup, and everyone said that tens are too wide. On my ralleys with 275-15's they were like .75" from the bed on the inside. Now with the same bs, and 275-40's I've got like 2"-I can stick my whole hand back there now. Big difference when the tire doesn't stick out the wheel at all....

[superfly68]

here's the rims...

you can set the resolution on your camera to lowest quality if you're just taking pictures for the net. That's a lower resolution.

[superfly68]

let's see a shot from behind the truck showing that new rubber!

[MeanGreenMachine]

Thats a nice look.

[72step]

Thanks all. I'll get a rear shot later tonight or this weekend. Those 40's really are wide, but the beauty of it all, is with the lower profile, they don't bulge out at all.

[72c10step]

What type of taillights are those, and do you have a better pic of them?

[72step]

72c10step, Those taillights are custom frenched in off a 73 Vega. I got the truck from a Paint and body guy, and he did the work. He did a pretty good job but the downside, is you can't find reproductions of these lenses, and mine are kinda shot.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Sweet looking ride ya got there got any interior or motor pic's???
