Here are some quick pictures I took today. The car is no longer consider a 4x4 and also has some better tunes thanks to Ian Kee and his Trans Am/Camaro convertible CDT speaker package.

Looks great! Looks like you may want to roll your fenders. If they catch once you will probably end up with a crease in your quarter, don't ask me how I know!

Have you considered doing the rear CETA and maybe some overlays?

Looks AMAZING Quasar! It's on a whole new level now. One of the cleanest 'verts I can ever remember seeing pictures of. I'm partial to the wheels and to red Trans Ams though. What did you do to lower it?

Those look sweet on nearly any f-body!

I like the looks at 19"s and the price may be right but I bet they're heavy compared to forged wheels.

I have not rolled the quarters...yet. The passenger side rubs over big bumps so I will be rolling them soon.

They did not feel very light when I put them on. I have no interest in racing this car so I wasn't concerned with weight.

Thanks Josh, your car certainly made an impression on me. I cut the stock springs to get this stance (I know, all of the "it's not safe" and "it will ride horribly" comments are soon to follow!). The car does sit a little low in the front and I am thinking about going with the Strano springs to bump it up a little. I was trying to keep the costs down on this car as I have a couple of others that I am in the process of building right now.

You need an adjustable Panhard bar to re-center the rearend after lowering, along with getting the front end re-aligned to fix the negative camber so you don't wear out the inside edge of your front tires.

At what point do you have to roll the lips on the quarters? If you don't lower it, do you have to do the "BFH" mod? I have a silver 2002 WS6 and after seeing these wheels on your car, I am hooked. Just concerned about using 18's or 19's and what width will cause me problems with the rear fenders. Did you have to recalibrate your speedo after putting these tires on?
