New Wheels On: Pics Inside <img src="http://www.fbodyaudio.com/albums/josh99ta/aaw.sized.jpg" alt=" - " />

Let me know what you guys think. The wheels of course are 17x9 ROH Snypers in a machined silver finish with clearcoat, which adds a nice touch of flash to the wheels. These wheels aren't silver, but rather a raw metal look with clearcoat over it, looks alot like the same shiny metal finish on my Fossil watch. Tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s of the 275/40 variety and have a nice 11" wide footprint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> (I know all you SS/WS6 guys are used to this already, but I'm stepping up front 245s, let me enjoy myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ) I really believe these brought the car to life, all I need to do know is paint the calipers black, get some Trans Am decals for them, get some better exhaust tips (probably Mecham's oval tips), and probably going to retint the windows. That'll finish the car off in the looks department. Anyways, any and all opinions welcome. If you want to see pics of the car before the wheels, go to http://community.webshots.com/user/josh99ta for those (16x8 chrome factory wheels). Thanks for any input guys.

Re: New Wheels On: Pics Inside I didn't get a chance to weigh them before they went on the car. They aren't light but they sure aren't any heavier than my stock 16s, so not too heavy either.
Thanks for the compliments guys, makes the hard work that much more worth it <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Re: New Wheels On: Pics Inside Car looks awesome Josh, you decided against the Y2K C5 rims huh? I think the 17x11s will do nicely <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Car really looks badass, cool picture too! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: New Wheels On: Pics Inside You know I was wanting those Y2Ks for the LONGEST time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> A guy at work got some silver 17s on his LT1 Black Z and it looks awesome, but I decided I wanted something with an inset center and a little lip on it, and the ROH Snypers are basically just like the Y2Ks except with a few more angles and the lip, I call them Y2K's with attitude <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Plus the machined finish is really nice, and that was something the Y2Ks didn't offer.
Thanks again for the compliments guys, and thanks for the compliments on the pics. Photography is a hobby of mine, well photographing my car and other cars, so I try to take the best pictures I can. I know I'm no McTullis but I do my best, and am hoping to take a photography class at college next semester, so maybe I'll learn a bit more then. Again, thanks guys <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" />

Re: New Wheels On: Pics Inside It's bright red, it was just an overcast day and I had to use the cloudy day ISO on my camera to even make the pictures look close. It's red though, and look red on my screen as well.
