Car desperately needs a new front bumper, the z28 style or what ever it is, other than that I love the car.

Sorry, don't like them. One, I don't like the 3rd gen's w/o gfx. The rims don't fit the car, and they are small, and I agree to many lug nut holes.

However, the stance of the car is great, the paint and body on it looks amazing. just my .02 though.

I like the way they look. I just think the rears are too thin.

The front's/rears almost look like two different style wheels to me. As long as you like 'em, that's all that matters. Clean car btw.

backs are way too small. a 28x11.5 tire might make it look alot better.

yeah, they got some small tires on the back, but they were aquired in a swap and i'm using them cause they were free and they hook. not sure how they'll hook with the new th350 with transbrake, but we'll see. if they don't, i'll go to a 275/60/15 i know those will look good. i'll go to the taller tires whenever i wear these out regardless though. not really sure why M/T made the fronts so different from the rears, but they did. i like them though. they are SUPER light. make my rodlites seem like they were steal

i'll try to get some more pics up whenever i go with the larger rear tire. i also got the center caps on the front and it makes it look a TON better. i'm gonna buy another set for the rear. i hate that they didn't include the center caps with the wheels. i think that was kinda stupid. and they're $13/each! yike!

i like the fronts just not the backs. you can pull that look off with alumastars, but not ET drags.. there is just so much material in the back, and so little in the front.

even those 275/60s look small for some reason. Guess that's why I'm ordering up 325/50s
