Default New wheels for the Formula!

I FINALLY got a set of new wheels for my Formula, after months of indecision and searching around.

I bought them from a member here,and I couldn't be happier with them.

From this:


to THIS:








'02 WS6 Speedlines with 275/40 Michelin Pilots

A little bit of an improvement, huh?

That car would have stayed locked in my garage until I could replace those wheels. Nice Formula - looks stock but good now.

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, I know the other wheels were hideous. The previous owner ought to be shot for doing that.

It's so nice to have normal wheels on it now, I don't feel like a douchebag driving it anymore. I always thought people were looking at me thinking "wow, what a loser to put those wheels on that car". I can't blame them, I'd think the same thing myself.

It's nice to not have to explain how they came with the car to everyone I meet anymore.

And I gotta say, for a stock wheel, they REALLY look good. I never cared for them on T/A's much, but they really work on the Formula, IMO. GM should have made them an optional Formula wheel from the get go.

It would get old driving your car every day knowing that everybody who saw you was thinking what an idiot you were. But you can relax now ... as a newly respectable member of the f-body community.

Your car looks happy now that it has the TA wheels on it. Now you don't have to dread stopping at red lights.
