I put a full tank of gas in there after the pics and now the back sits pretty much even with the front now. lol

It is lowered btw, 1.5" in the front and MAC springs in the back which i think are 1.5" also.

you should powdercoat the rims black...It'd look like a fricking shadow going down the road. little kids would probably scatter in fear

I actually like that combo on black WS6s. I prefer the 18s on the front too.

I like the way it looks. Ive alway thought the *** of the trans am was too fat and looked out of porportion with 17's. The front looked fine with the 17's but the back needs something bigger.

I have a couple questions. What size tire are you running in the rear? What size spacers are you using in the rear and what's the offset for the rear?

Haha sorry.

I got them somewhat locally and paid $950 for the wheels and tires with the Goodyear supercar tires I think there're called,I would say the tires have 90% tires left and were only 4 months old I do believe.

Thanks for the compliments,I didn't really like the look at first but starting to grow on me now

yeah i think they dont look right either .... you know, i bet a set of 16" chrome Z28 wheels like the ones I have on my car would really set it off and i will trade you straight up
