So things got better with the job and I have continued to get some parts coming... I ordered these badboys last week

Pacesetter 72C2256. I wanted longtubes for the better performance at lower RPMS and they just look clean. They should fit right up in the frame, so you wont see them!

thor · 02-27-2012, 06:25 PM

Sweet! You'll have to let us know how they fit.

nibs · 02-27-2012, 06:36 PM

most definitely! Here is how they did fit on another LS swapper, he is also on a Dropmember...

nibs · 02-29-2012, 01:34 PM

Well yesterday I must say, SUCKED! I got a message from a fellow customer of PTS Wheels and he informed me that his order(put in right about the same time as mine) was never actually submitted with Intro Wheels... I called up Intro, and sure enough mine werent either. No order for any Speedstars had been processed at all >

Now, I found out that Intro is based out of Upland, Ca which is rock throwing distance from my house and I informed them that I will be stopping by to put my order in. Yup, that means another 6 weeks before I get my wheels now

Since this whole thing occurred, it has given me time to think. When I think about things, it can get messy! LOL I still want to keep the wheel style, but Im rethinking my sizes. Instead of the 18/20 combo, just going 20's all around. What do you think?
(18/20)

VS.
(20/20)

nuke1 · 02-29-2012, 02:02 PM

I just say 20's, but I am biased. lol. Sucks about your rims, that really sucks. I would be mad.

VA72C10 · 02-29-2012, 02:08 PM

20's all the way....

**67cheby** · 02-29-2012, 02:13 PM

i vote 20's also ....or maybe 20/22's

tubbedII · 02-29-2012, 02:20 PM

Definitely 20's all around!!!

I was thinking that as well, but I cant get the stepped lips in anything bigger than a 20"... Think I should say screw it to the stepped lips and go rolled?

**67cheby** · 02-29-2012, 02:57 PM

rolled are sure alot easier to polish...

nibs · 02-29-2012, 03:15 PM

Good point... I think im gonna do the 20s all around. HMMMMMMMMMM

thor · 02-29-2012, 03:46 PM

20's on all corners!

darkgable79 · 02-29-2012, 03:53 PM

20s all the way around!

nibs · 02-29-2012, 04:14 PM

Dang! Where were you guys when I attempted my first order??? Maybe its a good thing the first time didnt go around.

Whats everyones opinions on the lips? Old school rolled look or rolled?

68 Quad C10 · 02-29-2012, 04:43 PM

I always see better with 20/20

rolled lips FTW !

mooseknuckles · 02-29-2012, 05:59 PM

def rolled...easier to polish...which you'll be doing alot of.

nibs · 02-29-2012, 07:23 PM

are they really that much easier to polish?

tubbedII · 02-29-2012, 08:20 PM

I don't think I know what a stepped looks like...can't seem to find it on their website either, but I do like the rolled look posted by triologyz28!

hopelessredneck · 02-29-2012, 08:21 PM

any new updates on the interior it looked like you were going to put in a sweet ass head unit in the hole in the dash

Twisted71c10 · 02-29-2012, 09:45 PM

plus
rolled lips make the rims look a size bigger.

nibs · 03-01-2012, 03:30 AM

Not exactly the wheel Im getting, but that is Intros stepped lip. I though that would give the wheels a cool retro look, but also being a new and more modern design

**screaminchevypickup** · 03-01-2012, 03:34 AM

So what did PTS say about the order not being put in?

nibs · 03-01-2012, 03:47 AM
