Sorry guys, I'm kind of waiting for my hood to get out of the paint booth before I take any pictures. The rear end is installed, fluid is in, and suspension is adjusted... I just need to bleed brakes and like I said, get my hood back. Been at the body shop for almost 3 weeks now. Hoping Thursday is the day. It finally stopped raining/snowing so yeah, hopefully Thursday will be the day. I will say I'm quite impressed with how nicely they fit. Every bit as good as the Pro Stars. Stay tuned, sorry again!

Looks sweet! Little FYI- one tire is on the wrong way if you look at the tread design

They do, yes. I probably would have gone with the black if I could have afforded new front wheels too, but I couldn't. So for now, we'll see how the Pro Stars up front and these RT's out back look. Once I get the car pulled out from the side of the house, and into an open area, I'll get a better idea of whether or not I like the look. I''m just hoping I get my damn hood back today, lol. Thanks again to everyone for their patience on pictures, and all the kind comments.

Probably not going to look that good with a thinner spoke rear wheel and thicker spoke front, but it might look okay. I had RT rears and Greg Weld fronts and it looked retarded.

I honestly don't think it's going to look too bad. I think yours would have looked great if you didn't have the bolted RT series. I think that's the only thing that throws that look off.

I'm going to miss that car of yours by the way... was disappointed to read you were going to sell it. Car is definite eye candy.

Anyways, I should be getting my hood today. I'll try to give the car a bath and get some pictures later this evening. Stay tuned

What sort of wheel weights do you use? It looks like the weights w/ the tack would hit the caliper

They did hit actually... just barely, so I moved them inward a tiny bit to where they'd clear and then rechecked the balance... all was well. Glad I checked.

Thanks, I'm going to cry when it leaves. I'm already having second thoughts on selling it.

I think these new RTS wheels in the rear, with a 15" one piece alumastar up front would look hot.

Soo....did you get your hood? I'm dying to see some pics of the rears. If your wheels look nice in the back with the car on the ground, I'm getting some.

Yep, got the hood... heading out to clean the car now. Finally some nice weather this weekend. It'll probably rain tomorrow because of my cleaning it, but oh well. Should have some pictures tonight. Once again... stay tuned

I actually like these wheels a lot better than the bolted version. The 15x12s are only $20 more per wheel. I am going to be getting some of these for one of my cars. I may wait for a 17x12 for my Formula. I'm still undecided on wheels for it.

They're not professional photo shoot quality, but they give you an idea. Hopefully I can get some better pictures in the near future. Here's 3 for now:







I don't mind the Pro Star + R/T look at all. I mean lets just say it's not worth the hassle of taking off the Pro Stars, trying to sell them and then spending more money to wait 3 weeks on new front R/T's. Comments are welcome, I know there'll be haters, but that's okay, at least it moves
