Beautiful SS. Nice wheels too but, imho, I'm not feeling them on our 4th gens. They're not bad, just a little too flashy our cars. Again, just my opinion. I like more classic, simpler styles. But, if (like Josh said) you were to powdercoat the centers/spokes to match your hockey sticks, I think they would look 1000% better on your car.

BTW, I love the blue Bowtie on your "Berger" panel. Nice touch on a truly beautiful car.

i do recall talking to you about how you wanted to do your car and how you wanted yours to have somewhat the same look as mine, as i said before i found that to be a big compliment and you've done a great job with your car i love the way it's turned out. and ya i do agree with the whole bling factor on the car, and coming up on not this weekend but next the center of the wheels are going to be getting painted the same color as the stripes leaving a chrome lip, i think it'll be looking alot better when that happens.

if anybody can, that is really good at photoshop, please try and see how it would look like. i cant wait to get this done and just want a good idea of how it'll look like.
