Hey I saw your post up on thirdgen.org a few weeks ago. Sweet car, have to say not a fan of the wheels but it still an awsome car. You have a modified TPI motor(tuned port injection) btw which is a bit different than an LT1 or LS1.

Car looks hot, but the wheels aren't to my liking.
I am the kind of guy that is honest and will say if I like it or not, so don't get offended about my opinion on your wheels.

btw, what part of VA you in? I am down here in the Va Beach/Norfolk area and we have local f-body meets 2 times a month (sometimes more).

No worries Zepher i am in the DC/VA area are you talking about EFA? if so i've looked into their meetings but a lot of the times they are a couple hrs. to much for me...

As for the wheels which set are you talking about? if you read the other post i recently put a set of Iroc's on them that brings the whole car together IMO with the black stripe...

Also the wheels are stockers with the clear stripped and polished although not "shiny" the look is def. a little different and to my taste
