I gotta tell you, it was really hard to find rims to fit that bolt pattern. I spent around $1,500 for everything. Thanks a lot for the compliments!!! I wanted to try something different. Everyone I see has stock rims, corvette rims, or those 5 spoke mag rims.

I agree the rims don't fit the black theme. a set of black rims with a chrome lip would set the whole thing off nicely.

Yes dude, we already said something about that. Sorry but I just got it finished and wanted to take some pix's but then I noticed it was crooked and didn't want to go take more pictures in the dark! Just tilt your head to the side!

At least with the skinnys you won't blow out your 10 bolt.

Buff the center panel bird off or pick up a formy one, and nightshade it as well. It'll look much better. Looks like you did a good job with the nightshades. I got carried away and mine are crazy dark. Meh.

Kinda looks like the pass tip might be out a tid bit too far also. You need to re-torque everything after the system cycles a couple times, I'd try to get it lined up perfect before you do that. The pipes will set into each other when you really torque it up.

where were u able to get those rims for the right lug config? also, did u get them to come with the tires on them already, or did u just pay someone to put'em on. ive only seen 225s as the highest tires that come with 'em was lookn for 275/40/18s with 9.5" rim width.

did u just order straight from the company, with a custom-made order?

With the thread title, I'm expecting to see some Knight Rider stuff.

Car looks good though. I agree with the black rims thing. Black rims with chrome lip on a black car =

LMFAO, those last 2 pics are great.

In all honesty, I say leave the bird just make it light up (I know people have done it before, but my minds drawing a blank on who's got it done).

Paint it white or silver, then make it light up red. It'll be a good offset w/ your dark theme along the back. If you went silver, it'd tie in with the wheels and the tips too.

Just a thought...overall, I like your setup. Not really diggin the wheels, but you do so thats all that matters. Corsa tips = PERFECT for the TA bumper.

You guys really know how to get a kid down.

Thank you to everyone who has ever said anything nice to me, which I believe only includes the short list of Devylyst, nhra-trans-am, and camaroguy_02.

This is the last post I will be making on this site. I hope you are happy. Another punk kid taken off the site with those gay ghetto rims. But just so you know, not just any kid, but an Eagle Scout that gets all a's and works his butt off getting paid minimum wage. Yeah Silver02TA, I have a poor car. Too bad not everyone can be as lucky and/or accomplished as you in this world!
