They resemble those Mustang bullitt rims, and the '05 and up GT's rims I believe, but they aren't exactly the same as the stock Mustang rims. No adapters needed, they have bolt patterens your our Fbodies.

Thanks again everyone for the compliments.

When I decided not to sell the T/A back in January, I used the money I was going to use for a down payment on a new car, to put in a stall and a cam.

How's your car coming along Jonas, is the hood painted yet?

Looks great! Good idea on the clear corners and maybe even for the rears. I wanted to keep my 97 Z pretty much stock but I did go with clears on the front and the black Camaro inlays on the rear. Really sets the car off, and I bet yours would look great with black Pontiac inlays to go with the black CETA.

I still unsure about those inlays for the Pontiac on the back, I have seen blacks ones, stainless ones, but I can't make up my mind what to do. Yeah black would tie in with the ceta bumper, but it might take away from the clean sleek look I am going after.
Thanks for the compliments, and input.

I originally thought about going with the stainless inlays, especially since I have chrome wheels and chrome magnaflow tips, but I went with molded black inlays because the stainless seems too "blingly". I also figured they wouldn't hold up to Michigan weather, even though I don't plan on driving that much in the winter. I also changed my plate frame from chrome to black chrome. I'd post a picture but the damn thing is in the shop again.
