Hey dude, I live in J.V. and I think I've seen your car parked at a sonic on Jones road. I frickin barley can keep my eyes on the road when I pass by. I like that color. I think the fm5's would look good on your car.

Thanks for the compliments. I decided on the Profil 5S becasue I hadn't seen anyone with them before. I like to be different. I love the FM5's and 10's but there are a lot of people that have them. As far as cost they are right around 1k a piece and they are 18's.

Aarrgg! I can't chose. It also doesn't help when I'm trying to decide between wheels/suspension or FI.

Yeah, if you are on a budget get the tq2 combo. Some nicley polished ones with a nice drop on an SOM look badass. If you got a little money to blow, I would def. go with the CCW's. I've yet to see them on an SOM, I bet they would look PIMP. You could just throw the stockers back on for the track...

IMO, Rims/stance make or break your ride.

Yeah, they definitley are. But the thing with ls1's they already pack quite a punch out of the box, so, IMO, starting appearance mods before any performance mods wouldn't be "rice" in my book. After lid/cutout...I'll probably start looking into rims for myself. (unless I can get a ws6....) But IMO rims can do SOOO much for a car.

Who said anything about rice. I wouldnt worry about getting a WS6 if I were you unless you just want it for 'status'. Almost everything that came with my SS package has been replaced

1. I did.

2. If I were to get a ws6, I would be pretty content with the 17" stockers. They look pretty good, IMO. I would have to think pretty hard about upgrading my wheels in that case. Especially if I went with a set of 17's. And of course, that beautiful hood....I personally could care less about status. You know the old saying.."an ls1 is an ls1 is an ls1"...

ehhh, As soon as I saw his pics I knew he would get the "nice 4x4" comments, but I think it looks good, as is. My reasoning behind this is the whole aura of the camaro in general. Compared to the sleek T/A, (IMO) the Camaro looks very robust and muscular. With the suspension (stock I assume) he has on it now, (ie, the jacked up rear look) I think it looks mean. And it probably squats better for drag. But don't get me wrong I'm all for slammin...just check out the sig.
