nice looking car. im debating this when i get back from overseas.
I plan to install my 150 wet-shot and do suspension as well.
just thought it might be cool to look nearly stock and have over 500whp

Thumbs up

Not Speedlines, but close. Yeah, GM should have equipped these cars from the factory with 11 inch rims. I had 2 inches add to the rear rims. The stock rim is on the right.

It's about $200 a wheel plus shipping. A few places do it, but Wheels America in Dallas, Tx did mine. Quality welds and very balanced. If you decide to do this, don't do like I did and spend a ton of money on square boxes and bubble wrap to ship a round rim. They shipped them back in handmade, round cardboard boxes which makes more sense and doesn't need as much packing material.

I'm running 20mm H&R Hubcentric spacers. I have the car up on stands right now to do away with the bumpstops completely so I can jack the car up without worrying about them hitting the tires. I already shaved the bumpstops as much as I can. I'm cutting them out now and doing a few shock mods that JasonWW posted to put the bumpstops in the rear Koni's instead.
