Turbo K revisited...
...well after lots of thought and some free time, I have determined the exterior mods I had planned to make to the K once it was done would be too extensive so I toned it down some. Along with all this free time I had to ponder all this (stuff thats not even going to be done for a while), I also took the time to re photochop the car.
This is what I am leaning towards. Only things that aren't photochopped in are a small hood vent (from a lebaron/lancer H-body) and a small ducktail spoiler (from a spirit R/T). The front and rear valances will be custom made but pretty simple, and the fronts will include some sort of rectanglar fog lights in line with the headlamps.
I am going after a look that is a mix of this
and maybe a little *dare I say it because I might get flamed* Buick GNX styling. Should fit well with the general boxy shape of the car.

i'll just repeat what i just said to you in IM.. lol
jadedfonz: it looks 100000000000000x better with those vs the pumpers
TurboAries007: why thank you
jadedfonz: nice lowering too
TurboAries007: lol there was no lowering
jadedfonz: no?
TurboAries007: it may appear lower due to the added front and rear valances
jadedfonz: i had a car.. it was darker than yours, but blue. I had old dodge rallye wheels on it... silver & argent
jadedfonz: man they looked good on it with the chrome trim rings
TurboAries007: yeah I kind of like the way it came out now
TurboAries007: the wheels go better because they are black and chrome/polished
jadedfonz: you should have more wheel gap on the rear with those short of tires
TurboAries007: those tires are actually the ones on the car now
TurboAries007: I literally just chopped the centers
jadedfonz: you may be able to adapt a set of GLH font dam onto it
jadedfonz: or use it as a mold
TurboAries007: yeah

Ok now the actual wheel dilema, there are 14" and 15" Lace wheels, then the 16" ones that you pointed out. Originally I was thinking of going with the 15" Lace wheels. I'll have to photochop it with the 16"s too see what it looks like since they seem to differ slightly in spoke design.
