HAHA thanks alot, thats the way i look at it too, now that i look back i'm glad i picked up this car, it needed a new owner, the guy took good care of it alot, and it was in GREAT condition for how much i got it, but i'm glad to see it turn out like this, how it should be.

and ya my next mods are going to be stainless fill ins/overlays, !side moldings, and a stainless front bird

i would, but one thing i love about the ws6 wheels IS the black center caps lol, i dont know why, but i think they look weird with anything other than black centercaps, even tho it says WS6 on them, i can live with that, most people on here run around with vette emblems on their wheels lol

Did you have spacers on the 16" wheels? They look like they stick out some.
I love the clean subtle look you have now. That is one of the best looking factory wheels ever made. I like it with the stock hood as well. It gives it nice clean lines.

you have a good eye

actually, to make matters worse when i bought the car with those hideous 18's (yes they are 18's, but look like 22's lol) weren't made for the car, they were 18x7.5 and required the use of 1 inch wheel adapters all around, so when i swapped wheels to the stock ones, i was in a hurry and decided to leave the spacers on till i got new wheels, so i left the spacers on, till i got the ws6 wheels lol

It looks like you need a camber adjustment or something up front from the Sportlines. It does look real good though. A hell of a lot better than before, that's for sure

ya, could probly use an alignment/camber adjustment, thats what happens when you make a 1 finger gap between the fender and tire

BTW, i dont have sportlines


thanks for the compliments!

Why did you get rid of those original wheels in the first place. That made the car. JK its always nice to see clean and simple NBM birds. Keep up the good work.

Love the older WS6 wheels. Not a fan of inserts or overlays on the TA's tho. Looks great as is.
