Default New Wheels! And some small appearance mods

A friend of mine had a set of C6 base wheels laying around in his garage, after he switched to some torque thrusts, so we got a little curious and decided to slap em on the Formula to see how they look. Let me know what you guys think!! I know it need some lowwwwww but, Im working on it . Also nightshade-ed the amber and red side markers and de-molded the car!!

Thanks Wave! I think the chrome C6 wheels kinda make it look firehawk-ish

his are 18" all around. i've never been a fan of c6 base wheels either, but they look a lot better on a formula than on the camaros and trans-ams they usually end up on

That's what I have on my TA and I love it. Did you actually buy them or just want to see how they look?

Just riding around on them really. Once i lower the car and see how they still sit with me, then i might purchase them or some Deep Dish's of the same wheel

Very nice.. it'll look even better when you lower it. Any idea what springs you're gonna go with?

On the lookout for some used Stranos, BMR, or even Sportlines right now. If i'm gonna buy new, i'll probably end up just getting Stranos.
