I'll try to answer all the questions, hope I don't leave any out...Sold the cobras and tribars to a friend on local forum to buy these wheels/tires. Whole setup was >$700. The 315s I had on the Cobras were like Telly Sevalis, and it was gonna be just under $300 for buying/mounting new tires -I didn't have it. I wanted the ground clearance and comfort and oldskool look of the 15"s and wanted to go a different route so I did. MEGA bonus is that the front tires are "75k mile tires" and rears are "50k mile tires" If I get half of that I'll be super happy.Funny that someone mentioned "Cars" b/c it's my son's favorite movie and Lightning McQueen was part of my inspiration. I was watching the movie w/ him one day and noticed that his overall shape was very much like our SNive's. Then I saw how cheap these wheels were and I was off&running. Other part of my inspiration is that I love Bobbers and old hot rod paraphanalia: this car is kind of a tribute to that and a response to donks and SUVs on 30s. It looks cheap and white trash on purpose. The magic of these wheels is like that of the trucker hat or camo shorts -they don't "match" anything, so everything goes!The paint on the car was one of the reasons I bought it; I was looking for a Sapphire Blue stang w/ less than 100k miles. I searched for like 4mo. I gave up for a month and then found this one w/ less than 75k on it in my town! Haven't been able to afford to make any changes till recently, so I drove it stock-ish for a/b 2.5yrs.This car is a perfect extension of me: I love western shirts with snaps, cheap beer, Smokey and the Bandit. I don't take myself too seriously and my car embodies this attitude. It's just for fun!</blockquote>
