Default Weld Draglites on my 93 Trans Am----->

I got these the other day from a local guy that had them on his LS1 Camaro, real cool guy too. Anyways I put em on just to test fit them and i didnt have to use spacers up front but the rears are rubbing on the brake calipers a little. Im gonna grind the calipers just a little bit to clear the wheels and everything should be fine. Keep in mind though that I have an Aerospace brake setup on all fours, pitty cuz you cant see the billet calipers.

The wheels are 15x3.5 w/ 165r radials and the rear are 15x8 w/ 275/50 Nitto Drags. The car is real dirty in the pics cuz of the bad weather as of late, but once the sun comes back out its getting some Zaino and im gonna polish the hell out of those draglites.

Oh and sorry bout the quality, im using a rather inexpensive digital cam. that and the weather outside doesnt help at all, but with some better light the digi cam is awsome.

What do you guys think? It looks way better than my 16" ABS wheels up front and Z28 salad shooters out back...LOL!!!

They were OEM '03 Z06 take offs, dont remember the color name but they were grey. I sold em to my bro for $500 w/ tires back in march so I could take my motor out of the machine shop. But my bro traded them for some ZR1's and now a friend has em on his LT1 Z.

I was rollin on 16" ABS wheels upfront and salad shooters out back since may '06. It looked like **** and now the car looks way different. here's a link where i have some other pics of the car...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/557530

Got the Draglites for $550 + $10 for gas cuz i met the guy half way.

The car and the wheels are really, really dirty. the pics came out better than expected and you cant tell the car has bird poo, and scratch marks from a cat that's soon to be DOA!

Did the soap and water mod this weekend, and the car looks even better. I tried to get some good pics but my digi cam sucks and it wont capture the cars color the way I want it to. It looked like the car was orange in the pictures, but the paint just has a real deep color that the camera doesnt pick up. the weather got messed up again today so i'll get some other pics from my bro's camera next week. Thanks for the compliments guys.
