I've never seen anyone run those wheels on an F-Body before.

Not many run 19s on their F-bodys and only a handful look good, so i cant coment on these. They are also a 5x120 and not 5x120.65 bolt pattern. Some guys on here run 5x120, but I wouldnt.

Yeah, post a side photo of your car and I'll hook you up.

No problem. Will do all 3 tomorrow. I'm out for the evening, and my PS skills will be "compromised" by the time I get home tonite.

5x120 and 5x120.7 are so close it doesn't matter. So many people run that bolt pattern with no problems

Here's a quicky. The original pic was pretty washed out, so I had to wash the rims out a little as well, but I didn't want to lose all the detail:

No problem, that was actually a pretty weak effort on my part. Here are the same wheels, just cleaned up a little. I did the Huntington's with a rotor/caliper behind it so you can see what it actually looks like. Again, same wheels, just a better 'chop.

Post pics when you get the new wheels.

I was leaning toward the m6 knock offs but now I'm really digging the bolsas they just look right on the car. That's what I'm ordering for sure. I'll put up some pics as soon as they come in.

Agreed. I really like those BMW wheels, but they don't look as good as the Huntington's on your car. That's the reason I redid the 'chops. I didn't think my first round did any of them justice. Lets just say it was a late night the night before.

I mocked my wife's Audi wheels up on my '67 and thought they were going to look killer, and they didn't quite do it for me. Kinda like the BMW's on yours. It's such a personal choice. Definitely post pics, I always like to see a 'chop come to real life.

Most definitely. Have you thought about lowering it all?
