Default Photoshoot pics after Z06 wheels!

Finally had a chance today to install my Z06 Replica wheels and also washed it...of course Im hearing thunder in the distance but anyways, here are some pictures my friend took of my car after I washed it...

17x9.5s with 275/40r17 tires in the front and 18x10.50s with 315/30r18s in the rear (I need some rear tires if anyone has some)





Somewhere in the cloud of smoke is my Camaro...







Went down by the local dam to get a few more pictures...







Some lady offered to take my picture with my Camaro, too bad she didnt get the whole car in. Oh well...

I preferred the 10 spokes, but still looks good.

One pet peeve I have though, is people putting SS badges on a Z...not my car though and as long as you don't advertise it as an SS if you sell it doesn't matter.

BMR 1.25 drop springs and maybe do some different exhaust tips..they aren't terrible though. Maybe they just need to be tucked up a bit. Looks good man!

Looks good but not feeling the rivets but who hasn't said that before? Lol. But all in all, the car looks good.

Yeah, I think a 1 inch drop would be perfect. I had Eibachs aggressive rear lowering springs that were just too much, took those out and put the stock ones in the rear with the heater hose mod. Fronts I have the Eibach mild lowering kit.

I traded my 10 spokes for these wheels to a guy in Missouri who put them on his 94 (95?)

No worries, just did it cause it has all the SS body panels on it and its a 94 so everyone knows its not real, just wanted to confuse people when they take a look under the hood and see a LT1 engine. Also, Im never selling this car. Had it too long.

The exhaust tips bug me too, I want Corsa dual/dual tips or the CME exhaust.

Thanks, Im also tossing the idea around of painting the wheel that charcoal color these came with from the factory on the Z06s. Would have to see it photoshoped though.

Well I must have A.D.D or something because I took the black Z06 replica wheels and traded them for chrome versions today. Met up with Adrian (unik_gtz) who drove down from Wisconsin to dropped the wheels off. Came home and hit the wheels with some chrome polish and shined the tires (which instantly soaked up the tire shine) Snapped a few pics too after I waxed the Camaro...
