Car: 87 GTA Engine: L98 Transmission: 700R4 Axle/Gears: Dana M78 3.27 posi | Talk about a last from the past! Fatal!
Our Austin group cruised down to Houston in the mid 90s (I think it was) to the GM tour coming through, and I remember Fatal being there, with a 4th gen dash, solid headlights vs the seperate highs and lows of stock, and pretty much everything under the hood, and the chassis, polished or chromed.
I know I took pics, just can't seem to locate them right now...
Fatal looks as good today as it did 10 years ago! Was it a 'vert back them? Memory says it was a hardtop, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong. Memory of before 2 years ago sucks now. |

Car: 1991 Z28 (sold) | yes it does make sense, but some things made in the 80's dont scream it like those wheels. i never said anything about the 80's being bad however, so it wasnt an insult | |

I love all things 80's--the cars, the music, the styles, the members only jackets (i actually wear my dads around all the time).
But staying on topic, any of the stock 16 inch 3rd gen wheels look fantastic and suit our cars personally. Thats not to say that aftermarket wheels dont look good either, its just that i prefer the stock look:

They look nice but I like the factory 16in Irocz wheels I have the best. I have kuhmo ecsta's 295/50/r16...those tires stick. for my second set of wheels I have 16inch centerlines polished with mickey's, i want to get some torque thrust thought 17x12's or 17x10's, for the races instead of the centerlines. My lil brothers rims on his 3rd gen vette are sweet also(79 L-48), he has those bf goodrich tires that r half slicks and half radials those tires r pretty bad a//. just adding my  | |

Tirerack doesn't show any brand other than BFG for a 295/50R16. The kumho web site doesn't even show that size...  | |
