    been thinking about my maverick as of late, considering its been sitting out under a car cover for the past two years basically never driven. The guy i bought it from used to drag race it and i got to thinking and i might want to see what its like.

    But first things first, if im going to do this i want it to be a sort of more street car than an every now and than strip car. Im looking at new wheels/rims and i was wondering what mavericks look like on 17's. Or i dont know, 17's in back and 15's in front. Anyone have any pics of this?

    My car has 17's, check my gallery link. Many others do too... As for 17/15, I don't know if that's been done. I think it would look awkward but I could be wrong.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Ive seen a twin turbo fairlane with that wheel setup. It looked pretty cool. If you do a search on google youll find it. It was also in popular hotrodding.
