    Tested My New Wheels & Pics of the New Hood Scoop>>

    I tried out the new wheels with street tires.









    I still need to repaint the hood scoop.

    Your styling choices have come together nicely for a great overall look. Something I've been considering for my 20" summer wheel and tires is having the chrome stripped and having the wheels powder-coated a silver or gray color instead, but that's just because chrome isn't my first choice with wheels. I'm not saying your chrome wheels don't look good (or that I don't like mine), but I think powder-coating your wheels a color similar to the Astral Silver of the body would compliment the overall look even more. A graphics editing program is always a great way to experiment.

    I like it!
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    dood, I have to say, of all hood scoop's I've seen and imagined on a VX, (I never even thought about the t-bird) it looks like it belongs there. Two thumbs up. I love it.

    For sure. If I didn't have the carbon fiber insert that I got from Newthings, I certainly would consider doing what you did with the T-bird scoop, very sweet

    Thanks!

    The wheels are 20" x 9" with 18 offset
    The tires are 295 45 20.

    No lift and no scrubing at all.

    These wheels wouldn't have been my first choice
    but the price was right and I couldn't pass it up.
    I like the black and chrome wheels the best.

    I loved this look, but I could only turn the wheel a couple inches.
    Great if you don't have to make any turns.
