ws6 wheels look good enough sell the firehawks and get exhaust youll get power and sound firehawk wheels aint nothing special anyway. Plus I would be so let down if I saw your car cruising with some shiny firehawk wheels looking good; get beside you and see stock exhaust making no sound, I dont like when people buy cars and trucks like these and put rims and **** on em but still have stock exhaust. I would even sell the wheels to get the springs and shocks I mean ws6 wheels look damn good on lowered cars.

Sell the wheels or save up. Either way, just get an exhaust.

I think the wheels are fine. You do need exhaust though so just save up and get that.

Selling the WS6 wheels wouldn't get near enough cash for a full exhaust system.

02 ws6 wheels are awesome. def put those back on and get the exhaust. firehawk rims have no style to them. just plain thin spokes, only special thing about them is the fact that they came on a firehawk.

I just spent about 400 on a magnaflow catback...
We took the car out for a spin once the stock exhaust was off. When we put the new catback system on, it sounded good, BUT I REALLY liked the no-muffler approach.

You can do your exhaust very inexpensively. Have a shop weld some straight pipes on your LS1. It will probably cost you about $75 & sound great.

If you get a good exhaust, you'll find yourself driving with the radio off so you can hear it better. Keep the wheels and save for the exhaust.

I like the Firehawk wheels and the 01/02 Speedline WS6 wheels best along with the SS wheels. If you have Speedlines sell your wheels and buy an exhaust. An LS1 with a stock exhaust should not be allowed.

I am hoping that was a joke.
But for those of you who have shipped rimes and tires, how much did it cost to ship all four?
