Did you get those SS rims customized? They look like the 35th limited ed. SS rims but they have chrome instead of what the regular 35th look like. Or maybe im wrong? Looks real good!

Any more pics of the whole car with the rims?

I think wheels and stance go hand in hand. You're half way there, finish it up and it'll look great.

Thanks fellas, I did have the car lowered on Pro-kit, but i ditched it to save for the Strano springs. Oh and the rims before were polished TTII's.

Yes they are painted 10 spokes, they are polished, not machined, i think they look better as i am going with polished emblems and rear letters. Not sure what i'm doing with the grill yet. I will aslo be throwing on black SS decals (just the border) on the center caps.

As for the calipers, thats next They wil be black/black w/ chrome CAMARO SS letters.

I think they came out really nice. Once you lower it then they'll fill the wheel well? much better!

Don't listen to all these people that put Corvette wheels on F-Bod's, these wheels just plain look BAD ***. I have the 35th LE and I wouldn't trade them for ANYTHING. Boo to the People that run Vette wheels, you obviously have no style.

^^^ Thanks bro, appreciate it. I traded them for more than just looks. The 17-9.5/11's were causing my car to understeer in hard turns and causing the ABS to act funny. I did like the way they looked, just think the trade off for better handling/braking was worth it. Plus these rims look really good IMHO.

FWIW here is an old pic.
