About half way down on this page there is a gray tbird with some awesome wheels. Does anyone know what they are? The pic is above the blue TC pic.

This is a quote from an article about the car:
"Furthermore, he added a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe nose and Honda Civic door handles. The car was also lowered four inches and 18-inch AZEV road wheels were added as well. The wheels come from DAZZ Motorsport of Baldwin Park, California. The sleek appearance is ideal for another passion Matsubara has - racing. Believe it or not, he actually drag races this car. Nitrous oxide tanks rest in the middle of the back seat to boost the engine."

The grey one is a very smooth looking bird, but that blue one...wow.

The Cobra wheels look great on a TC. That blue paint is sweet (black rules, though). I wonder of the Sport Coupe has problems over heating without the grill.

As long as the sport coupe has a properly working cooling system,and the air dam is intact it should be fine.The sport coupe has a dam and air ducts underneath just like our cars.The grilles on the sports are more of a styling cue than anything else,the extra cooling is just a nice bonus.

Too much fun, what's that mean?That's like too much boost,there's no such thing.

I think it would be much more stylish to just shave the hadles altogether and go with remote actuators...

I called Dazz Motorsports and they said they knew nothing of this car and dont even sell that type of wheel. If anyone knows this guy with the Silver Bird, I would love to tap his brain on the 4" lowering job and 18" wheels.
