hmmmwhat to do what to do

My car looks like a F-body for sale section vomited inside of it. So I was thinking, I have to sets of wheels, set of ZR1s and a set of Ws6s, both not in good shape but still usable. I was thinking of selling both sets and perhaps buying a used custom wheel, has to be 17X9, I got some Kuhmos last May and they have 600 miles on them so I want to reuse them. Any case was looking at maybe a set of used TTIIs or maybe the 200SS wheels, I dont know, I'm kinda tired of having stock wheels on there. I like simple and clean after market wheels though, nothing blingy or ghetto. Selll these wheels and save for some customs or go for some thing else?

No, thats ok, I kinda want a polished wheel, but if he wants to trade I'll do it, run those for a while, sell you my ZR1s and then sell those

Its a 13 years old car, I wouldnt be surprised at all, I have heard of them causing problems when you go to install long tubes, the headers will rest on the K member. I'm more worried about breaking bolts

I have heard of people breaking or stripping the stock bolts when removing them, I was told by a few folks to spary them down in a couple cans of rust eater the night before so I dont run in to that problem.

yeah, thats what I was thinking, stock wheels make it just look like another F-body on another set of stock 17s. Thats still a good bit of money though
