Yea im still debating on that one for right now, being from Eastern Ky, theres some rough train tracks cause of coal trucks, and once the headers on go, it will bottom out on everything! But who knows!

My God, don't even THINK about lowering that car. It's already slammed on the ground as it is. Why do these domestic ricers love seeing a car's undercarriage grind all over the ground shooting sparks everywhere? You can have fun looking like Cheech and Chong in your low rider, dragging its *** on the ground. These cars come lowered from the factory. No use ruining the way they look and turning them into a low rider POS.

The rims look good. Don't touch the springs.

sorry i just dont like the lip and the rivets on those wheels. Now if someone had some chrome z06 wheels and painted everything black but the lip that would look good.

I had to atleast have the chrome lip to go with the chrome moldings, and I think if the windows wasnt 5%, the wheels would look like ****....but I actually like the way its pulled everything together. But If I could find a set of TTII's, I would be all over it! haha They work for now though

Sorry, IMO those are some of the worst wheels that are frequently put on T/A's. Why'd you go with them if they weren't your first choice?

Gorgeous car otherwise though, I love that color. What color are your rear fill ins? Is that silver, stainless, or reflective? I'm looking to get a set for mine, I like the way yours look.

And what size tires are those, btw ? As far as I know, my car has the stock suspension, but yours looks way higher than mine.

Wow, you're a douche. Ruin the look? Your stock height car with gay z06s looks better then my lowered car? what a ******* idiot. I'm running True duals and to be honest. I dont scrape on anything unless its a bad decline etc. And the look is WELL worth the few scrapes here and there.

PS.

To the original poster. I would personally have kept your ws6 wheels over putting motorsports on your car. Motorsports = ugly IMO.

I agree with Choco, the springs/stance on that car does not need to be changed.. 4x4? The gap is like 2-3inches max.
If you like the wheels, all the more power to ya, but I wouldnt be going and lowering it because people told me on here to, especially if I dont want to in the first place

Stuntman Mike: Well with me being 20, full time College student goin into Pharmacy, and working part time to pay car payments, Im a lil sort on cash if ya know what I mean and I got to trade my stock 16's plus a lil cash. Got a pretty good deal IMO.
As for the letters in the rear, I got the mirror chrome stickers off ebay, cheap and they stay there and look good. So it all worked! haha

I would love to lower the car, dont get me wrong! But with all the hills and rough places around here, the headers will drag on every lil object in the road. If it kept on dragging on ****, I would have to replace my exhaust like once a year. I cant afford that, not right now anyways. Maybe once I get out of pharmacy school in about 5 years lol

Looks ok, never been a fan of those wheels, but they don't look bad.

It would look great on some Strano's or atleast a similar drop, but it it's gunna drag then I would leave up too. lol

Oh ok, I get you as far as the wheels. Yeah, 16's just look dinky on T/A's, I can see why you wnated to get rid of them.

And I hear you on lowering, while it looks good, I'm not lowering my car for the same reasons as you. The streets are bad here, and even stock I have to take it easy enough as it is.

Thanks for the info on the fill ins!
