    I got a new set of wheels for the Maverick today, what a change . I'm broke but OK with that. I'll have to go over to Mick's and stand under his money tree. I think it needs a scoop now ? Pics are when I got it till now.

    Looks VERY nice! That "before" pic looks exactly like my first car I had when I was 16 years old.

    You can't beat Torq Thrusts....their styling is timeless.

    Mrfixit I went with 235x60x15 on the rear and 215x60x15's on the front. I tried 195's on the front but they looked like little donuts and didn't fill the wheel well at all. I like the look I got:dance::dance:

    I'm running skinnies on the frt and 215/60/15s on the rear with 15x7 Torq Thrusts...but I really need wider tires in the back.
