Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> Very nice, just LOWER THAT CAR please! It looks rediculous up high like that (what was GM thinking?!).
I like the grey SS badges...I have 3 of them sitting right here for my black SS too.

Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> Thanks jmx!!! Funny you say that she sits too high, I installed the SLP Bilstein susp. myself. As you probably already know it lowers the car about an inch in the back. However the front then sat a little higher than the back. Many people with the same set up didn;t seem to mind. I thought it looked stupid, so I cut a half coil off the front. Now It sits perfectly even front to back. I drive the car a lot, and didn't want to slam her to the ground!!! The car rides great, and is about 1" lower than stock, believe it or not??? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> Thanks a lot 1badls1bird!!! I had them painted by a local paint shop (light grey metallic, then several coats of clearcoat). I also had SS decals made by (Mark IXZD 150), and had them clearcoated into the centercaps. They did a great job!!! The wider rear wheels (18x10.5") look so much better than the stoke 10 spoke SS rims.

I made the caliper decals, not the centercap ones.
But stay tuned, I'm working on centercap decals now too.

No, sorry. No more colors. The metallic decal film holds up the best and the demand was too low to warrant making another batch. I have plenty of the brushed metallic in stock. E-mail me if you'd like info on getting some. mark2000ss@attbi.com

Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> Looks BAD *** man, I have a pewter WS6 with the chrome Z06's and it looks nice also. I was parked next to a Z06 yesterday and was checking out the rims and charcoal like yours and was thinking how good that color would look on a black SS/WS6 (like yours). I like the ride height, it looks aggressive, IMO when a big car like ours is lowered too much it looks like a man in high heels <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> If you go any lower than you will have to worry about scraping if you have or plan on LT's.

Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> Looks sweet man, I was thinking of buying some for my 2002 t/a, Anybody out there got any pics of a t/a with the Chrome Z06 on them? (Also seems like I have talked to a couple of people who said when they put those rims on there it makes there car look higher) <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: First post for me, pics of my painted ZO6 rims on an 00' SS inside>>> nice pics! i always wondered how ZO6 rims would look on the camaro. do you have any closer shots?
i would like to see how much bigger those wheels look over stock. do they stick out in the rear? how about the fronts? is there any rubbing when the wheel is turned all the way? i was thinking of the fikse FM/10's and there is a pic of those rims on a white camaro here somewhere. they look pretty cool but my car is black so i am sure it'll have a different look. either way, nice job!
