Default new rims - I know, I know, it's filthy..

Looks like crap not being lowered..
I have phb, springs, and struts.. but its just too flippin cold to work on it.
(notice frost on windows lol)

AZA Z-01's
18x9.5's all around
245/40/18's up front
275/35/18's out back

^ Kind of pissed cause they were supposed to have 295' out back.. I am going to call them here in a few min's to see wtf happened. At least send me some money back or something.












I think they look a little out of place.. *shrug*
Just dont seem to flow w/the car.. I dono, maybe it's just me. It will look 10x better once I get off my *** an get the suspension installed too tho..

Going to do the CETA bumper, and do it the same silver as the rim centers are, as well as get the stripes on the hood in the same color. Maybe that will tie the color in a little better instead of making them stand out like a sore thumb.

Here's a pic of "crazyjoe's" ws6 w/the hood stripes I am talking about.

those look pretty good minus the rivets...is it just the camera angle, or is the wheel really that far back in the well?

Firebirds/Trans Am's are like that, if you look at a WS6 or base model (more extreme) they all tuck in pretty far. Most of the 10.5 - 12" wide wheels fit nicely though

I would get some spacers for the rear, but other than that they look very good.

They are sucked in a bit, but all of them I have seen are like that..
I mean even tho they arent close to flush at the top, they are sticking out a good ways past the bumper.

I am going to wait til I get my suspension done in the next week or so and see how they sit before I consider spacers.

A buddy of mine does too. He was waiting on me to get mine to see how the quality was before he ordered them. Needless to say he just ordered a set.

I mean in all honesty, for the money, theyre hard to beat.
I have zr1's to use at the track so the 9.5 width didnt bother me too much.
