Thanks guys, I really like the way it came out. Although the car could be a little lower. The stranos don't cut it. The front and rear brake clearance is awesome, which I tried to plan for. I would like to do the cts-v or z06 bbk eventually.

Yessir, $1000 wheels make even a Camaro look classy! How was your experience with DPE? Time frame for completion of wheels? I think I will be upgrading my '76 T/A to some gold S20s next spring if everything goes as planned.

My experience with DPE was great! It took about 6 weeks for the wheels order to be confirmed and completed. Which was early being they gave me the 6-8 week timeframe.

I was informed that DPE is willing to do a group buy for wheels, anyone interested let me know! ( please remove if this is inappropriate)

definitely lol, once I save some money again. I would like to do the Z06 or CTS-V BBK. I Also would like to do the rears, but no one has figured out how to keep the E-brake on a TCS/ABS car....

Kore3.com makes a rear ebrake kit for the C6 Z06 brakes, last time I checked it was around $700. I didn't get it when I did mine mostly because I have an auto and don't use the ebrake at all.

For that price, I might have to put my engineering skills to work! Anyone know what the ebrake bracket looks like? I cant find a pic of it.

I agree, I think a big brake kit will make the wheels. Right now, they look like something is missing.. Do a nice red Caliper with big brakes.. Fill those wheels up

Here is what I found, looks like this is the complete rear kit with the ebrake set up. Not sure if this will work with your fab 9 though.http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10277-03

looks like that's for pre 1981 10/12 bolts. The fab 9 shouldnt matter the axle ends are the same as gm 10 bolts.
