Love the new wheels. The uniqueness and the dish on the back really make your car look great

Wow, it's like night and day. At first it looked nice but very simple. NOw that thing just pops out at you much more aggressive with the hood, and the wheels set it apart. Good job, car looks awesome

The hood is an aftermarket ws6 hood, nothing special.

The reason the GS Stripes are a little wide is because they came from an F-14 Tomcat. They were decommed last October so I was able to come across some. Im taking them off soon for blackbirds anyway....

100% better... but to have made it 150% better would have been to go with the Sun Coast creations Raptor hood.. makes the lines flow with the car.

Did you happen to weigh those wheels before you put them on?

No I didnt get a chance to weigh them but when I changed them I noticed a considerable difference. My new ones are lighter. The 19's were heavy and robbing me of some horses. But I do miss the staggered look. Thanks for your inputs...

Looks great...

BTW, I love the GS stripes, never seen em on a T/A before but I think they look sick.

I like the fact that the wheels are something new that no one else has.

With that said, I don't really care for 6-spokes on F-body's. Doesn't really matter though as long as you like them
