rims look great, but the blue kinda throws it off.....at first glance, i thought you had found a way to put blue neon in there.....

I saw these wheels for the first time on an SN95 Mustang at a car show this past weekend. I was very impressed and started searching for pictures of them on F-bodies. Your car looks great! I think these are my new favorite wheels... I like the blue calipers too, they are different and I don't think they look ricey.

I noticed on their website that the 18x9 has the wrong offset for our cars, is that why you went with the 18x10's all around? It doesn't look like it in the pictures, but does your car have any circle-track look to it at all with them all the same size?

If you get a chance, could you take some from along the side of the car with the front wheels straight so we can see how they tuck? Thanks for the pictures! If you have any more, please email them all to chad@dodds.cc.

thanx alot for all the replys guys.. my cars coming along pretty good.. i guess the blue calipers either u like em or hate em.. like most u said its uniqe and thats the exact look im going for.

BAD *** TA WS6- well ya im 21 and still trying to pay the car off.. don't get the wrong idea thiking my parents baught me this car.. i bin workin my A$$ off for it since high school then full time driving first class for the family business. i'v bin on this site for a while yes.. on and off and its awsome.. good ppl on here and lotsa help! i'd like to see some pics of ur wheels also! im running the eibach pro kit but ur gona hate me on this one.. i didn't think it was low enough for my taste, so i closed the wheel well gap a bit more bye chopping half a coil all the way around. i no everyone is against this.. it does bounce a little more but it got the car sitting how i wanted it evetualy i wana do some airtech suspension or somethin adjustable so i don't wana spend to much money and time on my coils and shocks. also out back its perfect doesnt rub yet still decent traction and not to mention it looks killer. As for clearence im running stock crushed Y pipe with just the borla cat back.. i still got a good 3" or clearence, its the odd tall speed bump i bottom out. with ur set up i would be very careful!

LS1 Sounds- thanx for the compliments. as for the offset yes the 18x9's wouldn't of worked... thats y i took the chance with doing 18X10 all the way around.. and hey i don't regreat it they fit perfect! i thought if n e thing i would have to doing some rolling on the fender lips.. but i havent touched them and my car being slammed still no rubbing at all. For the tuck compared to my stock wheels, there about 1" wider with that lip lets just say u can only fit one fingure between the tire and fender lip it is a tight fit but they just tuck enough to not rub. its hard to explain ill just hurry up and get some more pics for ya! i was just waiting for a suny day so i can show off the chrome some more. I wana get some pictures of under the hood and the interior also.. show everyone the reason i went with blue calipers.. i got a little bit of blue here and there to go with the calipers.

Sounds great man, I can't wait to see more pictures! I found a local vendor that can get these wheels at a pretty good price, and I won't have to pay shipping. I was concerned about the 18x9 offset in the front, but hell I might just go 18x10 all around!

Dude, I agree with those who like your Calipers, KEEP THEM!! At first I thought maybe they were Neon lights on the first pic you posted. It accents the ride man, leave' em the way they are!
Other than that you ride is Tight....Gotta hit some corners hard to see if anything rubs, and let us know....Oh yeah I am new to this page, and I am liking what I see already!
Keep up the mods!

those wheels look a lot better on an F body than I ever thought they would, thanks for taking a chance with them and showing us how good they look. I like the blue calipers too, keep them, it's different !

I like the blue calipers.. way different, and it goes well with the white-out marker lights. I personally might un-lower the car maybe 1/2 inch.

Very cool rims, and the blue calipers have to stay! If those aren't rubbing i'd say you hit a homerun!
