Challenger wheels look really nice Jim where did you get them?

And for 124 I really like those BBS I was thinking of doing something similar, same as my 2002 but my tires look to low profile yours just look right, where are those wheels from Novak or SD modeling? they look aluminum and high quality

They are resin-casts from the GMP Camaro Trans Am Minilites.

Also working on converting one to the GMP Torque Thrusts.

Yes, http://www.ulinowak.de/ - With my limited experience in modifying I found them the best for BBS.
