Default Chrome Zr1's are gone, now I have these...


I had 17x9/17x11 Chrome ZR1's on there before but wanted to change it up since I am having my black top installed soon and also painting my hood black as well.

Multiple stages of the car lol:











Thanks to slowride I now have:
275/40R17 / 295-40R18 DD C5 rims with Falken Azenis tires all around.








I really like the way the tires fill up the wheel well in the rear and the wife loves the **** out of the car even more now so its a win win lol.

I loved the chrome ZR1's but its been over 2 years with them and I wanted to change it up.

That's cool!

Do a wheel change and the car automatically transforms into a clone SS. lol

Looks great!

Haha

I'm loving the transformation!, its like watching my future car being built.
Your doing everything I plan to do, only difference is I finished the interior first.

The 3" hood definitely needs the SS spoiler to balance everything out.

The wheels are definitely an improvement over the played out zr1s IMO.

Thanks and I really want to do a black conversion with Trans am door panels and I actually did Suede on the seats and doors but over time it has faded really bad so I need to redo it.

The car has a long way too go and I am still deciding on what I want to do with the exhaust, dumped or CME.

ajw2500hd I dont think that they do but it would be cool if they did.

I don't see why you parked in the middle of a puddle when the rest of the parking lot looks dry? lol. That's the first thing I noticed.

Car looks good. I don't like many verts but yours stands out and looks awesome.

I think it looks alot better! Good choice of wheels, I would get those wheels in the future if I didn't already have a set of wheels planned out. Very nice looking ride. Maybe an SS hood next?

Thanks guys and yea I had an SS hood before but really wanted a cowl instead so I got this one, once it is painted I think it will complete the look of the car with the black top.

Got any write ups on how you did the suede? I got my rear seat thats the missing piece of puzzle in my beige to ebony conversion.
