Welcome to the site. I used to have those wheels on my red 98 Z28. I live right outside Concord so if you need any info on LS1 shops in the area or anything just give me a shout.

I appreciate the welcome guys....and thanks Matt.....I will probably take you up on that offer when the time comes. I have done a little dealing with Zeus, but that has been the only one so far.

Thanks....I cant complain.....scored the car for 1k with very light damage...needed a fender and a hood..... it was supposed to be a fix and sell situation. Instead, I find another generation of Camaro that I like....I am real fond of the 3rd gens. So....with that being said, I am gonna spend my loot modding instead of spending big bucks looking for an SS or Z28...
