Hearing the truth, is all I wanted. I've never seen them in person, so I have to take other peoples advice!

I wish I had someone near by, so I could copy the kit. Re-fiberglass it, and call it good! It sucks about the lenses though, you don't run them at all huh?

How are they visability wise? Better than stock? Can you upgrade to a HID setup? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just curious.

Thanks for all the info!

They are Privat Profil 5's 18x9's. I traded out for my Z0's and a lil bit.
Thanks!!

NO...no more lenses..they are 200 a set and suck! Filled in the holes and smoothed out the surfaces and painted. Visibility is better since they are high beams for lows and I just changed over to teh non sealed beam glass conversion so I can use other lights.

They need to make those in a wider size. What tires are you running. Looks good BTW.

They are 275/35's all around. Its my Daily Driver so I like to be able to rotate. Otherwise...it would have some 315's out back.

that's a good idea.........however, I'm particular to the big meats in the rear. wide tires look so sweet.........

However, I understand your perspective

They come in 17x9.5 too, they are also the correct bolt pattern for the fbody. Cost wise they are cheap and a quality wheel. I am wanting a set in 17's all the way around, but they have been on backorder for months. I emailed Konig the supplier and they can't even get any yet. They said in 2 weeks they expect some.

Hey LOHT, I like the wheels. Very nice, and the headlights were a nice touch IMO even if they were a pain in the ***. I'm all about being different. You'll have to let me know where the f-bods hang out around there for when I come back...my camaro is collecting dirt at the parents house while I'm playin in the sandbox that is Iraq.

When they are available Discount tire has them for around $200 a wheel. Konig is the supplier that sends them out to all the tire/wheel places.
