Looks awesome and definately not the common setup. Looks good not having 20 others look the same

That is very sharp. What are they and what size? Nice to see something new and also good looking.

Damn so that's what these look like when they're new. No offense dude, but I'm just not a fan of that kind of styling on our cars.

Those are some ugly wheels.

I personally don't care if twenty people on my block have my same wheels.

Its different and looks good. It looks much better in person. Not the typical "look, Ive got the same wheels as everyone else" wheels

Thumbs up

I like the offset built in. All you need to do now is lower it-- pronto!

A drop would look really nice, I like the BMR springs, I tried the Eibach but I was getting bad bumpsteer so I think at 1 in the BMR are perfect.

just my $.02

Good luck, nice car

So he's a follower because he doesnt give a **** what everyone else has? You sir, are an anti-conformist.

I dislike those wheels, and I own a set (thats my formula up there).

LOL... damn strait, call me a rebel I lead, not follow

Constructive critism is great, but theres no reason for someone to bash. Not everyone likes the same thing. Painted calipers with decals and drilled rotors are in the works.

Thats my Dads car, if youre wondering why I got defensive

Word, I'm not a follower, I just want my car to look a certain way. I bought it and maintain it myself with my own money. I can do what I want with it.


You guys try sooooo hard to be different instead of just trying to be happy. Get over yourselves.

Thats because some dont want to look like the next guy and like to stand out.

Back to the thread at hand.

Just because someone chooses to put the same wheels that others have on their car doesn't make them a "follower". There's a reason that a lot of people have OEM Vette wheels and such on F-bodies. It's because they look good.

Just for info they are Centerline Sundance Galaxy 901's 17X9.5 with 7" backset. I am working on getting drilled and slotted rotors. Already painted the calipers and have ordered WS6 decals for them. Not sure about lowering thinking about it. Thanks for all the reviews good and bad all that matters is that I like them. I have recieved more compliments about my car in the last week than I have in the last 3 years that I have had it.
