Default Tell me what you...

think about this. I haven't seen not even 1 other NBM WS6 in my area with this look. This is a photoshop look of what my wheels are gonna look like after I take them to the powdercoater. This is a older pic of my car from a few months ago. Its parked right now b/c of clutch. I have also VHT niteshaded all sidemarkers & entire rear light assembly w/removal of the "Trans Am" lettering & the little red bird around the key hole since it has been parked. So you gotta kinda imagine it all blacked out. I also plan on painting the calipers red w/ the chrome "Trans Am" lettering kit from Fourth Circle.

I like it. I was gonna say you need to remove the TransAm badges and either blackout or use clear corners but you covered that already. I like the look of the wheels a lot. Just the lip chromed/polished is just enough to make the wheels "pop". Nice job.

personally i think i might be alone on this one but i love the way the stock polished ws6 wheels look. i wouldnt touch them, im not big on rims being powdercoated inless they have a very large lip on them, id leave them along if it was me. also i think red will match your car very well

Thankx for the comments guys. I like them & think it will make the car look meaner when all exterior mods are completed. Plus gettin them powdercoated is way cheaper than buying the real CETA wheels from GM for like $400 each. And will look just as good.

BitViper- I still need to get with you on the antenna. I still would like one.
