I can't describe the hatred I have for you right now...I'm almost done with college and my first "expense" will be a 96-99 all Black GTS. Kudos brotha. You have a great taste. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this one.

Don't give me too much credit, that is my dads place. I moved out of there when I was 18, I was just there for a get together.

A black one would be sick, they are rare too! I don't think the car will be visually much until after March next year. The Classics will do, but the diameter isn't ideal for me (17") on this car, but I'll be more focused on getting some more power until then. Good luck with the search when it starts, you've done a killer job with the Formula!

Why do 17s look so small on vipers? and 315 look so narrow?

Get so 335 or 355 out back.

WHat size rims are you thinking of going with?

I'm talking about the diameter, not the width. The ones I have coming in are 17x10's and 17x13's with 335's on the back.

They just don't look as good with being 17's IMO:





Compared to 18" +



Don't get me wrong, they still look good, just not what I want for the "end product"

Car looks good! That's pretty funny, I've been kicking around the idea of selling my W for a GTS too, but just don't know much about them. And $30K for a 10+ year old car makes me think. lol. Definatly go with 18"+, just seems like it changes the look of the car alot. You plan on lowering it?

Yea, it'll go down an inch for sure. $30k sounds like a lot, but the cars keep their value. They were $66k new, 12 years later they are still selling for 50%+ of their value on average, some are $50k bone stock. Take an fbody for example. In 02, they sold for say $35k, maxed out WS.6, 7 years later, they sell for about 1/3 the value, in great condition, on average.

I agree, and 18+ wheel would look much better. But, you also have to consider a "open" style wheel also helps a lot. I'm just not a fan of those classic CCW wheels. One, I like to see the brake components, and too...it just frees up some clutter. Those wheels on that blue GTS look great.

SP600's are what I want for sure. The car just needs a little more go first before I can justify spending the money on the wheels. I mean, that's $3k+tires, where as a 250shot is $2500+tuning.
