Hey, thanks for the nice words. I definitely hear what you're saying...nobody here has an F-Body, and if they do, they don't know a thing about it.

Your car looks great too.

Out of the two wheels you suggested, I'd definitely suggest the C5 wheels. They look a lot like a set of CCW's, are still relatively rare, and don't look like Corvette wheels.

Alternatively if you're really looking to spend some money, I'd really look into a set of iForged Aero's (Polished lip with black centers).

Thanks , I here what your say`n if ya go to a local car show up here there might be one other f-bod guy & he does`nt know sqwat !

Wish I could afford CCW`s Those Iforged look awasome too , SLV WS6 gave me a link to the TSW site and found these : Cadwells 19x9.5`s so they could be an option too , I`m kinda finding my ride a little rough & might swap out my Bilstines for Koni SA`s ( next summer ) . If it`s this rough now I could not imagine it with 19`s or maybe it`s just me ? What you runnin for shocks & springs ??

Later .

19's might be a little rough on our roads, but I'm really not too sure. I don't mind my 17/18's.

I've got stock suspension, but I'm getting new shocks & springs for next season.

You might want to also consider the Axis Hiro:

Thanks Spd Kilz I like`em allot ! I`m really thinking of changing my shocks out for Koni SA`s next summer . I checked them out on there site it shows bolt patters in 5x100 & 5x114 whick one of these is correct ?

I`m thinking the 5x114 but not shure , best of all they come in 19x10.5 ! & Prices are not too to bad either ,thanks for the inside on these wheels !

I'm pretty sure it's 5 x 4.75 (which equals 120.65).

Lots of people run the 5 x 120 with no issues.

OUR bolt pattern is 120.65

I would look into Cray Scorpion and Cray Manta wheels. Something you dont see everyday.

Found a couple of pics from last years CCFBG show in T.O I think its 97 WS6. This car was used on the old HP site & was in Florida at the time if I remember that`s what the owner told me that this was one of the first F-bod`s to have Evo`s .

I wonder if the owner of that 97 would sell those wheels. Im in the Niagara-Hamilton region. The RPM 505 wheels are pretty much the same, if im not mistaken, just the finish on them is different thats all. And no bolts.

The 18x9.5s in the C5 Deep Dish are being manufactured and should be out around the Feb 2010 time frame... at Forum Members requests of course.
