I got a great deal from Wildman on this forum.
I bought his 35 LE SS rims and slapped em on my Z28.
It looks like a totally different car from my stock rims.

that looks bad *** how much did that cost you for the rims?

Those look great! Nice choice! That's like the only pic I've seen of a non-35th anny SS with those wheels.

GRAYZ

Thanks! I am really pleased with the results.
As far as the cost, I searched the forums for about 6 months looking for someone to sell their used ones. The dealers wanted $1200 for a new set and I found another place that would sell em for $800 but I justed checked their website and they dont have them up anymore.

I bought the rims with Goodyear tires (50 - 75% tread left) for $700 which included shipping. I could not pass that up. Wildman on this forum sold em to me and he was great to deal with!

GRAYZ

Thanks alot! I wanted something different and I knew they only made those rims for one year so I patiently waited for a used set. I actually like the looks of these rims on my pewter car better than any aftermarket I could find. Thanks again for the comments!

GRAYZ

Thanks! I really like the look. Wanted something different than the standard aftermarket rims. They were pretty hard to find, used or new, so I jumped at the chance to get some.

Looks GREAT!!!! I thought about doing something like that with my SS rims but couldnt ever bring myself to do it. That might have pushed me over the edge. Great looking car!!!!!!!

GRAYZ

Thanks! I added another pic of what the car looked like with the stock 16" rims. I agree, I have heard it is alot of $ and time to repaint the silver wheels. I was fortunate to run across Wildman and that he gave me such a good deal.

Looks nice. I put them on mine also, but had the rears made to 17x11

Thats awesome....

Wildman

Wow Thomas, that is incredibly nice looking!!! I never thought they would look so good. Now it makes the deal that much sweeter.
I bet your wife was happy too.
That just looks amazing.
Well, it was a pleasure doing business with you, and I would recommend you to anyone to do business with.
Take care,
Paul

GRAYZ

Sweet ride! Love those rims!
How did you acquire your rims and how did you stretch'em to 17x11's?
I would really like to get the ultra z hood but that is going to have to wait for a while. Your car looks niiicce!

Those look great on your car.

Paul (Wildman). Thanks! I was going to send you a pic in the email this week but since you saw the thread I won't bore you with the pics. The rims look great, just what I was looking for! The wife, she has not said a word to me about the rims. I even have the old ones stacked in the garage and not a word. My boys have noticed em but I really dont think the wife knows the difference I had several motorcycles in the past and modded each one of them while they were sitting in the garage and she never noticed or said a word.
I have been spreading the good news about your selling techniques. The rims arrived spotless and what a deal! Best mod I could have done to the car. If ever we meet I will buy the rounds

I bought mine new from Pace Performance and sent 2 off to Wheels America for the widening.

Those wheels look great on your car! I like them better on your car than when mine had them.

Wildman

My thoughts exactly.
Now I want them back!!!
Just kidding. The stretching of the rear wheels would be a good future mod for you Thomas.

GRAYZ

Thanks, 2_Wacko & DanDan appreciate the comments!
BAIN,
When you stretched the rims, did you have any fitment problems (ie: rubbing, offset, etc) I looked at the Wheels America website and it sounds tempting

GRAYZ

Thanks Nine Ball, I really like the combo. The black and pewter go real well together. You just can't beat the 35th Anniversary SS, its a sweet car.
