Default New rims on my one of a kind pewter trans am!!
So I got the car out of storage and touched up a few things, fixed a few misc. interior problems, painted the brake calipers, and put on my new rims. What do you think?

Do you even need a hood like that? If not, i think it would look better with a WS9/Raptor/Stock WS6 hood. Just my opinion, otherwise I like the new rims/painted calipers!

That hood is pointless. I'm sorry but it ruins the car.

Rest looks good man but that hood is overkill...doesnt flow with the car. Firehawk hood would look sick

I don't like the hood , BUT if there is a 900hp blown BB in there you have an excuse
If not is no different then sticking a banana in your pants to impress your date.

wheels look nice, not sure if you have a reason or not, but your front rotors are on the wrong sides, just FYI

Thanks for the compliments. The hood was on it this way when I got it. I like it because it's unique and not everyone has one and I mostly get compliments.

BTW This thread was about my rims NOT my hood.
