Here's my car. I bought it brand new back in '97, and lowering it on Eibach Sportlines and Bilsteins was my very first mod. I couldn't stand the 4x4 look. After nearly 14 years of owning this car, I'm just now getting the desire to put some different wheels on it. BTW... these pictures were taken just 2 days ago to document the fact that this is the first time in 10 years that this car has accidentally been exposed to rain.
It's sitting outside of the shop waiting to get my AFR LT4 heads and cam installed.

Thanks for posting that! Next, I need to find out the weight on those and if they can be widened to 12 inches. I plan on putting mini-tubs on the rear and stuffing in some 345s back there.

Well, I called this place and about a bajillion others trying to find those wheels, but they're no longer available. They were discontinued 2 years ago.

This is the closest wheel that I could find... I purchased a set about an hour ago too. 18 x 9 for the fronts and 19 x 9.5 for the rears. I'm gonna have the rears widened to 12 inches when I get them so I can run 345s.

^look up RPM 505, they're all over. pretty much the same exact thing as they hp evos. i'll be buying a set myself shortly, going with 19's all around though, i've never cared for that style rim is 18's, even though my general mindset has always been that 18's were the biggest i'd ever put on an f-body. they're design makes them look smaller than what they are though, the 18 looks like a 17.

here are a few sites i have book marked for them, just need to see if i'm going to buy with tires or not.:
