A little 80's for me bro.



They would lock sharp on third gen or 88-98 Sierra/Silverado.

Edit...They are for the 79?
Go for it. They would look good on that.

LOL, man if you're gonna go retro,,,, at least get the correct time period. Those billet wheels are too "early" 90's.

For a 79 Camaro, you need some chrome Cragars sticking out the back and some air shocks to jack up the *** end.... and some white lettering on the tires if you want to really do it up right.....

LOL, yea I figured there would be some abuse .. great deal on them though, Cragars are $250 a wheel. Tough finding correct offsets in cheap wheels

Car had airshocks on it when I bought it. Of course they leaked ....LMAO!

So I swapped out the suspension for new parts... the new hd leafs jack it up pretty good, I need a couple bags of cement in the trunk for a while to help relax things a bit ....
New leafs, and coils up front. New shocks (Edelbrocks) and a new sway bar kit from Hotchkis (the rear bar on these car was pathetic) and a complete bushing kit from ES. Only thing left to do is one side in the front ( bushing kit came with one Chevelle bushing instead of Camaro so I had to wait for ES to send me the correct one. Then I found a 700r4 for a couple hundered with a supposed fresh rebuild (we'll see) so thats next. I need an overdrive !!
