Default New SS rims on:)Pics inside!

Ok guys, the pics may not do them justice. They look SWEET in person. Got a guy on here to refinish the rims and he did them like the 35th Style only polished instead of machined. The car is not finished (appearance wise) but it just gives you an idea of what they look like. Other stuff going on: SS spoiler(98+ style), clear corners, SS Rear Inserts, Tint, Remove front plate, Fresh New Paintjob(staying black) New stock hood, 1" rear Spacers, Polished Stainless Z28 style tips on new magnaflow exhaust, HID headlight conversion, 70-71 style Z28 badges, and I'm looking for idea's on either hockey stripes in Charcoal or 35th Stripes in silver. Don't judge to badly as the car is not done yet. Just wanted to show how the rims got refinished
Also it's crappy out as it's spring and starting to thaw Here they are.....


Reposted them for ya.....

Oh and the hood on it is only temporary. It's just keeping the snow outta the engine bay while it was outta the shop. I took the 4" cowl off and have a almost brand new stock hood going on. Looking to maybe do hockey stripes or 35th's. Wouldn't mind feedback on what else i should do to it. And i'm not gonna lower it as i like my LT headers

I think I would like them better with a 35th center cap, or a chrome one.

i know guys, looks like **** i shouldn't have posted until i was completely done with the car. And you'd have to see the rims in person to see how nice they look on the car. Maybe it's just a combo of the fact that everythings dirty, from melting, the shitty bent up hood that's coming off and replaced with a new one and stuff like that. Oh well

thanks man, I can't decide wether i should put stripes on it or leave it all black. I'm leaning towards nothing on it though opinions are welcome on that. I also have DRL's going in too. They are aftermarket but will look just like the '97+

Looks good. I'm sure it'll look lot better cleaned up. Maybe somebody else will chime in, but I think Z06 centercaps will work.

Also just curious why you changing the cowl induction hood?

about the 4" Cowl >>> just too much goin' on for me... I liked it but it was just a little too big. If it would have been a 4" of those sexy smoothed out Cowl's it would have NEVER came off But yeah. I was gonna do hockey stripes on it and then it would have been too busy up front. but now i'm leaning away from stripes. I was thinking flat black or charcoal hockey's.... i don't know, what you guys think i should do?

oooo nice! who on the site did them? props to him.

Also I wouldnt get clear corners if I was you. The orange light that comes off the stock corners is one of the best things to see when your coming up a road. Clear corners = junk and leak IMO.

Rob 94Hawk 319 <<< Is the guy that did the rims for me. Real good guy to deal with and does AWESOME work. He's outta San Diego, CA. I've always LOVED the 35th style and with all the stuff i'm gonna be having done it's gonna flow nicely together with the wheels. As for the clear corners, I have the clears already but haven't installed them. I had them in my '00 V6 Camaro and they looked real nice and i had good luck with them. I'll try them and see, if they don't work right or look good i'll put the stockers back in Since the '93-'96 Camaro's don't have the amber DRL's i had to track down a kit for it. Got a REAL nice high quality kit to install this spring. They light up just like the '97+ styles. I've always liked how that looks too

Wow...those really do look AWESOME...very nice. This might pursuade me to find some 10 spokes and do the same thing!
