I like the TSW Mondellos on fbodies. I got a set that happened to pop up. Never bothered giving them a second thought or even searching for them because I knew they didn't make'em anymore and they're already hard to find(what I found out when I had my first z28). They're not on every other car out there which is a plus.

Mine are 19's, and at largest I wanted 18's on the car, but they look fine with the DD and design/style.

I like the look of the 526's. I might check them out in an 18x9 / 18x10.5 combo.

Agreed. How much do those run?

I know right, who wouldn't like a nice 10.5" wide two piece wheel with a triple chrome plated 4.25 lip. I'm pretty positive there pretty light compared to other wheels also if I remember right. Make sure they come in the right offset in a 10.5" wheel though.

Who knows if they even have the correct bolt pattern, I'm guessing that they don't. I'll try and give them a call and see what I can find out.

Wow, nice car. Gotta love those hardtops. Your car looks tastefully done. I love the rotor and brake upgrade as well. (Something a lot of people do not do and I think it looks goofy with nice wheels/tires, lowered suspension and a stock brake set-up. Just my opinion.)
Great shot too!

Thanks man, but as far as I know the brakes are still the stock calipers just with drilled and slotted rotors and a caliper paint job. I don't think they are the C5 conversion, They like that when I bought it, I just did the dress up and put the paint and the logo. And cleaned up and refreshed the caliper. I couldnt stand the dirty bare metal look of the brakes lol.
