haha, yea those stock wheels are hideous.

idk what GM was thinking whenever they designed those...

but yea, i plan on lowering the car next.
i've already got the springs, just not the time to install them.

idk about spacers in the back.. i thought about 10.5" in the back, but it would cost more, and wouldn't help with gas mileage, i'm 16 and this is my first car, so anything to keep it running as cheap as possible is good for me, as of now.

and i think 11's just look way to fat on these cars, that's just my opinion.. they stick out too much..

wow, looks great!

if you don't mind me asking, what paint work was done, and how much did it cost you? I need my back bumper and front bumper (i just replaced both) painted and don't know how much it will cost me.

THATS what it is! Man I kept thinking to myself SOMEthing looks really different and then I read your post and yea, man I'm slow :-)

Those are my favorite rims too, they look great and the tint really makes a world of difference, good stuff!
