I came across the following car that might be of interest to the board:
 
 
I also found a link to some great photos of the car:
 
 
I love most everything about this car and if my budget permitted, I'd probably do my Gran Torino similarly.

Here's a little info about the rolling stock that I gleaned from studying the photos of the Cyclone:
- Wheels are American Racing VN500s
- Tire sizes are 255/40r17 (front) and 315/35r17 (rear)

There is no way, NO WAY you could have picked a better picture of that wheel. The sensuous curves, slender spokes, tight angles and flat midsection go so well together...
