This is why we have this forum. To look at others cars and make a decision based on our own input/others results.

If you wanted to be different, you have achieved that. Otherwise, you could have done much better with that car. It looks great otherwise (from what I can see.)

Yeah there is almost no rubber on that wheel. It looks like you definately need a higher sidewall. On my old Z28 I increased tire diameters and it fit pretty well.

Plus I still had larger wheels and tires with enough sidewall not to look like rubber bands rapped around a quater.

I kinda like them. It is different and will look good with some accenting stripes on the car, etc. Keep us updated.

Def different, let's wait for day time pics with stripes on and painted calipers to see the real look of the car. I would have gone 18' all around tho, coz the tires in the back look too skinny IMO, and I wouldn't have painted the whole rim SOM but left a nice chrome/polished lip.

Now I feel kind of silly for trying to help the guy out. Honestly, those are the worst pictures I've ever seen and I'm not even talking about the darkness at all.

Get a five year old drunk, spin him around like you're playing pin the tail on the donkey, shoot mace in his eyes, punch him in the face about five times, then put a camera in his mouth. He'd take better pictures.


Okay, so that analogy was kind of sick...

Just do the same thing to a hobo and then give him a bottle of rot-gut. He'll be happy.

Now we know Jason 26 is definately NOT going to be coming back here...

Grapedrink went through all the trouble of making a profile just so that he could say this.

The profile has only one post on it and this is what it says. If I had only one post I think that this is a good thing to have it say.
