Default Intro GT Sports

Mr UPS man brought them today. Time to get some tires now.

They look VERY nice. Not very heavy either (compared to the old cast 1-piece wheels).

For $1550 shipped / direct, I like 'em a lot. Funny, the little rivet/screws on 'em say "HRE".

Attached are pics of one of the rears (17x10), and one of the wheels that's being replaced ( ). These wheels were blemished Speedlines from several years ago - they came with my '98Z when I bought it. People who were around the 'net back in ~'97-98 will remember these, I know TByrne cleared a bunch of 'em out.

Also have some Zoopseal on order. Gotta keep 'em shiny.

-Andrew

Heeeyy, those look familiar! Too bad our 4th gens can't get the deep lip like the 1st gens though. Put 'em on the car already!

Maybe not with the 2pc Intros but you can get a DEEP LIP with the 3pc iForged, that's exactly why I went the 3pc route. But just like you said Tony........."Yep, it costs to be a pimp."

Andrew, congrats on your new wheels, I'm sure they will look great on your car!

Thanks guys. I bought 'em direct from Intro on a group purchase from another forum (non-LS1). I think it was about 20% off or so.

I'm getting there. Tires are on, the Zoopseal is here, but I just have to put on the zoop. I'd do that today, but the dragstrip is open. Screw bling, I'm goin' racin'.

As for the speedlines, I'm trading them to a buddy for some work on my car. He's going to pull my dash, remove the airbag and A/C box, and install a Mojave heater, and then reinstall everything.

Trust me, I'm getting the better end of the bargain.

BTW, I LOVE the iForged Aeros. They're great looking. But I told myself that I was only going to spend ~$2k on tires/wheels. If you look at my '98, yeah, I can get a little crazy on the spending sometimes, but ya just gotta draw the line somewhere. I'd love to be pimpin' Aeros, but these Intros work for me.
