Thumbs up NBM 2001 Firebird on C6 ZO6's

Put on some new shoes and thought I'd share. The car is NBM with 5% tint all around. Dropped on Sportlines with Chrome O.E Creation C6 ZO6. They're 18x9.5 in the rear and 17x8.5 up front. Look good?

why 17s up front, like the stance or would 18s not fit. Car looks great dont get me wrong, im asking cuz i want the hyper silvers for my t/a. Yours is the best f car sportin those rims i think, maybe im partial due to the nbm though lol.

Thanks for the comments guys.

JSMee - I have it staggard for the look. I'm not too sure if 18x9.5 would fit in the front, I think you'd need to do some modifications. I actually wanted to go with 18x11 in the rears but the company that made those wheels dont have them in that size... so whatever.

The location is the street leading to my house off of silver creek in south san jose. My friend was the photographer. He does really great work, so if anyone is interested in him shooting thier car, let me know and you guys can make arrangements.

the camera i used was a canon 20d with a 10-22 lens. let me know if anyone wants a photoshoot of their car, located both in northern california (san jose) and southern california (irvine)

these rims are better then the c6s thats for sure!
