I agree... I have those on my 82. I like them, and everyone asks about them too. I have been wanting to switch to a larger wheel though...

I was wondering if they were the Drift R's as I was considering them., But when I was told they were to be available for our cars and then the said ROH changed their mind and it would be a year later, I got the SZ's

The blue car has not been driven in about 3 years or so... I was at one point putting a new sway bar in the rear, but never finished. I did a motor swap, then swapped back to the old motor, never driving it in the meantime.....Long story, but to try and make it short, I lost interest in the car a while ago, have way too much money wrapped up into it to even think of selling it, so I let it sit while hoping to gain some motivation again at some point. I built a killer engine with a blower, put it in, broke in the cam, then lost interest again, sold the engine/ blower, now the other engine is back in place and I am sort of gaining interest again. Major love hate relationship with this car!!!

I like modified early style C5's in 17" all the way around, but my favorite by far are the Boze Stinger's that were on Kandied's old car, but in 17".
I have those C5 wheels on my '90, but still need to do the appearance mod to them.

Here's a PS of the modified 17" C5's on my old '89.

Thats exactly where I ordered my wheels from and the price has increase since the day I ordered my wheels. I paid $1680.00 shipped to my door, the wheels was $390.00 a piece and shipping $120.00.
This is for the 18X10-18 and 18X8-18.
I just need for my back tires (Nittto 555R Drag Radials) to get in from http://www.need-4-speed.com/nitto.htm, since it's been over a month when I ordered them I will get my money back tomorrow and get the from www.Discounttiredirect.Com . After just looking at the website I see why they have not shipped my tires. I paid $199.00 for the tires now I see they want $299.00 per tire may they had the wrong price listed on the web site,
NITTO-6000 285/35VR18 NT555R Drag Radial $299.99
I emailed a guy and was quoted the same price $199.00
Well I see how things turn out tomorrow.....

I know they say its from the signature series, but every wheel in that series comes with a stepped lip from the outside in, whereas the gotcha series has the smooth 'deep dish' look. I emailed before I bought to get my hotrods done with the 'deep dish' (or reverse mount) since I also saw they were in the sig. series, but was assured that they are part of the gotcha series.....here's what I got
