Default Wheels installed

Shitty cellphone pics for now

Before



After








I had some issues balancing two of the wheels. They took excessive weight and I can feel some vibrations at highway speeds. But they look pretty good, so I'll try roadforcing those two, if it doesn't work out I may have to see about getting those two wheels replaced.

Won't happen. They sag in the rear is too dramatic, unless that's been addressed already. When it's time for struts I'm going to look into springs.

I think they look decent. But to be completely honest, Breyton CSL replicas belong on a BMW, not on a full size chevy. I know I come off like a dick, but you wouldn't put Torque Thrusts on a honda now would you?

Everyone has thier own opinion. I chose a wheel that I liked and that would look good on my application. And in my opinion, I suceeded. Reguardless what they're replicated off of, I like 'em.

They look good. Some black headlights would set off the front of the car to go with the wheels.
