BC Rebels 
Hi there Trav, I'm just wondering with my Eibach Sportline drop, can I run the 18/9-1/2 inch factory AR rebels. I heard that they will make a custom rim to fit my 2000 SS Camaro. Do I have to remove the bump stops from the rear. I don't want that to happen. My car is slammed about 2-2-1/2 inch drop. Let me know please. Thanks, Kevin from Las Vegas.

the wheels i have are 18X10 with 41mm offset. so im sure the 18X9.5 would fit as long as its the proper offset, did they tell u wut the offset would be? the only reason i removed my bump stops was because i bottomed out alot.. i just wanted more travel.. if ur car feels good now and doesnt bottom out then u'll be fine.

nice wheels, i have the 17x9 all the way around on mine. i love the way they look but they rub in the front and in the rear. the front rub on the inner fender and the rears hit the fender lip. american racing told me they were made to fit my car and that they would work perfectly. well after i got them i realized they didnt fit. really pissed me off but i love the way they look on my car. i doubt i will get rid of them. i might just roll the rear fender and call it good. i paid 1500 for all 4 wheels and nitto NT555's on mine.

love the dish on those rims, maybe you could do something different than the regular red or black and go with a lime green or a sunset orange on the calipers, I think that would look awesome

seeing your ride has given me the confidence to go out and pick up some wheels...nice nice nice...you have made me vision my car in a whole different perspective...i hate and respect you for now i have to spend a few thousand dollars to complete my vision...
so without suspension, on a black 99 T/A not ws6, will those rims in your opinion look good? i have been lookin for wheels that i really liked and so far yours have been the cleanest looking wheels i have seen at a good price

damn man the blue calipers looks really good. Maybe you could invest and get the film and LED's that make all the instrument panel lights neon blue, matching the calipers. once again it looks badass man, nice job
