    Default Representing the 4Eyes at the local cruise

    The other day I read Chrisperry's sig and realized he lived one town over from me. I shot him a PM to meet up at the local cruise night if he could. It was cool to get the cars together and shoot some pics:

    Good stuff- thank for the pictures. Those are the first ten-holes I have seen on my era Mustang (I live a sheltered life) and I must say I really like them. Both cars are great, and once again I have Capri envy.

    Cool pics!

    Funny you mention "the other Lakeview".... bc I cruised around Lakeview (the LI one) one weekend a few years ago looking for your car, hoping I'd see it. I grew up a few towns over and would have thought I'd have know it and also thought maybe it was a Capri from Rockville Centre I knew of...

    then I remember seeing you post something once that corrected the whereabouts for me.

    Yes, wish you were down on LI, then you could come to the Fox-a-que. Even still you are more than welcome for next year!

    I'd love to come to Long Island for the BBQ .....but I have City - phobia. Don't know If I'd like to drive through NYC to get there. You guys might have to meet me on the eastern side and escort me through! We could have a Four eye convoy and you could blame it on me for being a wuss!

    Haha! it's ok. The $300 craigslist find was worth it just to make you guys happy! They are hammered though, the dude that had them before me must've played ping pong off of the curbs!

    That '83 is one of the Cleanest I've seen in a while. These pics don't do it justice. C'mon chris, put some more up.

    They say Euromax design on the Centercap and they are 17x9's. But they say made in china on them which gave me a bit of heartburn but I didnt buy them new. Are the Saleen ones made in the usa? I bought them off a guy who bought a '02 with them on there and didnt like them so he sold them. Like I said thought the lips (the fronts are really bad) are pretty chewed up. The front tires are 235/45/17's Which I think are too small for a 17x9 rim and are stretched on there leaving alot of rim lip exposed.

    This is like the best one:

    Yeah, those are Euromax 612, But I think Saleen may have gotten them made in the US, my dad has 18x9s on his '08 GT, he bought them off of ebay for $375 for the set, on clearance from Saleen. Yours are they gray version that Euromax sold, but they're no longer made.

    Not my dads car, but here is what his look like:

    Crap! Now I got to measure them up to find out backspacing and everything. I know they came off a new Edge car but I'm unsure of what they measure. They fit Great actually.
