Default New wheels over the winter

Now I just need to lower it, put on the new hood, the new spoiler , and call it a day. Well maybe time to start making more HP.

I agree, there not the worst wheel, they dont look to bad,but i think with the them your going with some chrome c6 zr1s or black with a pin strip would look more at home on your car

That what makes us unique and are cars unique, I looked long and hard to find something that was not the norm. I didn't want to go with what everyone was already running and at the same time did not want to spend 3000 on a set of wheels.

ROH Snypers?

Not something i would choose, but then again, its not my car . You don't see those wheels too often anymore, were popular years ago. I'm glad you're happy with them, nice car!

The wheel design really isn't that bad.

8.5 is pretty narrow though and as the OP mentioned it definitely needs to be lowered a bit.

Not a fan of the wheel sizes more than anything. There was a red lt1 car on ltxtech that was getting parted out, and it had those wheels and a harwood cowl and it looked pretty sweet.

Thanks for the complements, I am going to reclear the hood I did not get enough on it when I sprayed it the first time. I have to take the car in to the shop for the third time to try to get the tires balanced properly. I think I may take it to a different shop that has a road force balance machine.

Do you guys know if the dots on th side of new tires is where the valve stems are supposed to be when they are mounted?
