Default I got some new wheels

I got a different set of wheels last night. SS camaro 10 spokes to replace my salad shooters. I think it looks a lot better.

Before:


After:


New addition to the interior:


Tires that were on the wheels were shot to ****. I installed the 275/40/17 BFG g-force sports today. I haven't tried from a stop but from a roll it eliminated a lot of the spinning. Much better than the 245/50/16's.

much better, I hate the salad shooters. Those were one of the first things to go on my 95, along with the hood, front bumper, headlights, fenders, rear spoiler and grille.

So you did a LS1 front end swap? I probably would if I could find a decent deal on everything. But I sort of like the front end on the lt1's for some reason./

yeah I did. Did all the work myself and bought used OEM parts other than the fenders which were new OEM. With all parts for the conversion with new tires on the chrome 5spoke OEM ZR1's, stripes and grille, I have just under 2K tied up in the whole deal which put me in the car for around 3500 complete. That is my car in the avatar. Now I am saving for drivetrain mods to make run like the LS1. Sorry to hijack the thread.

The salad shooters stay around for next winter. They have all season tires on them. The g-force sports on the 10 spoke wheels will not get to see winter.

I actually have 10 salad shooters now. I have 2 mounted with DR's, 4 with no tires from my brothers car and the set I just removed.
