Thumbs up Got the New Wheels on

Just got these this week and was able to wash her and snap a few.

I already know I need to lower it. The wheels were my first big mod. I'm still trying to save for exhaust and then hopefully I'll be able to lower it.

Other than that I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks and enjoy











I've got two of the old WS6 rims for sale and some other stuff if anyone wants them...

I think I'm going to keep the spoiler, don't want to make it a transformula or whatever someone else called it. I don't think the Trans Am spoiler really flows with the lines of the Formula, looks too big to be on there. If I did that I'd want to switch out the rear bumper too.

But I definitely want to get a WS6 hood probably with some blackbird stripes too!

White's growing on me. Only thing I don't like is after driving in the rain or through water. Huge ugly dirty water spots on the side of the car

dude, i hate to keep on reminding you that my cousin was going to get that car, since we live near lompoc, but anyways, this is becoming even funnier to me becuase my cousin told me the first mod he was going to do with that formula was out TT II's on it and then lower it!! haha. then get a slp lid/bellow/induction setup and exhaust. ANd he wanted to get a cd player for it since it only has a tape deck. Ride looks sweet.

Oh man that's hilarious!

I actually wanted to do exhaust first but I broke one rim so I said screw it, might as well just get the rims first. I wanted to go TT2 but being my daily driver I wanted the low-maintenance of chrome so I got these. Exhaust and induction is next, then suspension.

Yeah I got rid of that POS tape deck and found a cheap monsoon and stuck it in there
