I can see why you like the rims but I agree with others, they're not for me either. Looks like a sweet ride. What'd u pay if you don't mind me askin?

throw some 14 or 15" Wilwoods behind those rims. I hate it when I see a nice car with some nice, big, open (as in thin spokes) wheels with stock brakes

Thanks for the replys guys.

I paid 9 grand and its pretty much exactly what I have been looking for.
68,xxx miles, M6, T-Top

I took my buddy that has a 99 (non terminator) cobra and he pretty much **** his pants. He was very impressed.

Eventurally I want to do LT's, LS6 intake, TD's, 5% Tint on side windows, Tune. That should make me happy for a little while.

I'd say with a drop the wheels would look a lot better. Too much rim to be up that high. All-in-all good looking car man.

Glad someone else was thinking the right way. How you do you expect to keep on modding a car like that and then keep that power to the ground with those 19'' wheels? The ride probably sucks horrible and roads in MI are garbage. Sell the wheels, get something in the 17'' range and use the rest of the cash to start that mod list you have going. Then you can actually use that power instead of just looking cool.

those rims wouldnt be so bad if they werent so damn skinny. what are those a 235? other than that car looks sweet, i just think skinny wheels give off an import look.

Very sharp! keep those rims for show and buy some black zr1's for the street/strip.

the long tubes will wake that flowmaster up, also good hp when matched with the ls6 intake!

Have fun modding!
