Not really much of a project, but wanted to share some pics of the 17's on the 87 TII car...

Needs more tire :) Or lower it. I actually don't like those wheels much either, but the car looks very nice. What color is that?

[midnighttoker]

gorgeous :love:

[turbokid]

You need another z =)
18's are better :thumb:
But that does look pretty good forsure :clap:

[thedon809]

So. many. mopars. Looks pretty good. Needs to be lowered for sure.

[blk86trbo]

What color is that?

I'm pretty sure it's called Charcoal...a very knowledgeable guy (that also owns a same colored Z) said it was only available in 87.

It probably would look better lowered, but I also kinda like the way it sits...and I surely prefer the stock ride quality compared to how most lowered cars feel. Turning 40 does that to some people LOL :(

[Vigo]

I think it needs bigger tires AND to be lowered to maximize the style factor. I like the general style of the wheels on that car.. but the blue center caps stick out oddly.. id repaint em a dark gray to match the car.

225/50r17s are pretty tall and would ride better than whats on it.. and as for lowering im of the belief that cut stock springs dont ride much different from uncut as long as you're not hitting the bumpstops..

But im a big believer in to each his own. It looks better than stock wheels as it sits anyway :)

Honestly the only reason I have these wheels/tires is because they were on the blue T-top car I just put back together. Probably would not have bought these if I was actually buying some new rims. If it gets to the point where I need to buy new tires, I'll get a little taller to help with the ride quality.

Everyone has their own tastes and that's cool. Just figured I'd share some pics since it was the first time out with them on...actually if anyone has pics of a Shelby Z with wheels other than stock and wants to share, feel free to post them. :thumb:

[Turbo_Rampage]

Looks great! :thumb: That car looks to be in beautiful shape! You'd be surprised that the Eibach lowering springs ride just as good, if not better then the stock Shelby springs.

i put the ninja's on mine for the moment.i think they look good

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm pretty sure it's called Charcoal...

Ron will know for sure, but I think ... Gunmetal?

17's are a nice size for Daytonas :) +1 to needing it lowered a tad... can get the softer eibachs to power and ride ok.

Ninja's are one of my favorite rims...they look good on almost any FWD mopar!


Ron will know for sure, but I think ... Gunmetal?

Yeah JT, now that you mention it, Gunmetal sounds correct!

And Turbokid, that Z looks nice!

[midnighttoker]

ill post up a pic of my z

they do look real good and no need for me to buy expensive rims either :amen:

[blk86trbo]

ill post up a pic of my z

Cool, I'd like to see it with Ninja's :love:

They're expensive if you're looking to buy center caps :D

[midnighttoker]

LOL true.so far mine are still on there,even after spinning the tires from first,second and third the other day

[JohnnyIroc]

i personally don't like those rims i like pumpers and n-srt wheels best on any TM
but man that Z looks better every time i see pics of it

[midnighttoker]

im not crazy about the pumpers

[blk86trbo]

Hey guys I got a question I've been wondering for a while but forget to ask...did the 87 or 88 Shelby Z have any hood decals, or did the "INTERCOOLED TURBO" decal start it off in 89?

[midnighttoker]

87 and 88 had them too

[Force Fed Mopar]

I actually like the stock crab wheels on the '87 Z's. Dunno why, they just seem to fit the car nicely. I also like the early Lebaron GTC 16" meshies, they are my favorite stock wheel. I have a set on my Shelby Z right now :) Here's a pic of it w/ some old 15" chrome something-or-others on it.

[thedon809]

Here is mine. It's a 1st gen but you get the idea. 16" pt cruiser wheels with 205/50 tires.

It's not a "Z" but i thought i would share a pic since it has aftermarket 17's, :)

Oh yeah, I remember those wheels...that's probably exactly what I'd buy if I was shopping for wheels, absolutely beautiful :amen:

[Vigo]

loving the hood on that one as always. one of my favorite daytonas :)

[JohnnyIroc]

wow tony those really make a Z look sweet:thumb:

[midnighttoker]

thanks!!! i love the way they look and there are no lowering springs on it.all stock,the tires that are on there lowered it pretty good

[turbokid]

Wow I didnt think I would like it as much as I do.
It gives it the look of an iroc but I like the profile better on the Z's
I think the 3rd gen Irocs always look a little inflated though I like the body style

[Vigo]

Yeh, i really hate what they did with the 92-93 daytona front, but im guessing a lot of shelby owners would trade their front clip for a good running tIII setup so it cuts both ways i guess.

I like them on that older car. I tend to think ALL the stock 16s dont look very good on anything (need different offset mostly), but that combo is better than passable. :)

[Force Fed Mopar]

I don't like the Ninjas much. I have to +3 on not liking the 3rd Gen nose either. The '87 is pretty much my favorite year of Daytona, although I am thinking of mixing and matching some ground effects and tail panels :)

[phil howard]

Bitchin' Z! 17" wheels are great for handling. I have 15" Center Line "Storms" on my '88 Z for less rotating mass=quicker acceleration and braking. Each wheel size has advantages, just depends on what you like.

Car looks great...my thoughts are that 16" GTC lace wheels are tits on everything!

super rare pastel red! :)

[Force Fed Mopar]

super rare pastel red! :)

Yeah you like that huh? :D

[Turbo224]

I have the same wheels on my R/T. I think they look good, although I have been considering a change since I have had these on the car for 12 years now...

1" drop and go with a 225/45/17 tire! (unless thats what on there now...go 50 series...)

looks awesome. super clean Z u got there, always loved the grey ones

the only thing wierd is the blue center on the caps. and how u got red stripe goin on with the car. can u get red center cap to match? or just swap the stripe to a blue one! but then your trim on the back will be red still...lol...

[raccoon]

Yeah you like that huh? :D



I kinda do, my white shadow is down to about 60% paint left the rest has flaked off, I love it being super clean and having the paint fall off. i dont know why.
