it does look good with those rims, just lower the car more. Im glad a saw that pic , i was just thinking my car was sitting too high with the sportlines. But after that pic i love the stance i have. I deffy think you should get some lowering springs. Looks good.

I was going to buy those, but then I acquired expensive tastes
so my wheels and just about everything else are going to have to wait.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yea the car needs to be lowered for sure. That will come soon when I do a overhaul on the suspension. Right now it's rolling on the stock WS6 suspension which needs replacing. I will be putting in new bushings, Eibach sportlines, and undecided upon shocks. Still I love the look of the Snyper rims. They were my favorite when I first saw them.

Very nice, those fit your car perfectly.
How do you like the tires? I just ordered a set of those for my IROC.

Nice dude....hopefully within a week I will have a set of my own!
Did you go with 17X9 all around or with 17X8 up front?
Also, where did you get them and how much did they set you back, if you don't mind saying.:rockon:

The tires are great. Very sticky and handle extremely well. Much better than the Pirellis I had on the car before. I read up on these tires and they get great reviews. I have to agree they are a really good tire. You will enjoy them.
They are 17x9 all the way around. I got them from JDWheels.com for $179 a piece

Thanks again guys. I really do enjoy the new look. Once it gets lowered it will be perfect but still right now it's a whole lot better than those 15x7 cross-laced rims on before.
Wow $210 a piece? Was that before or after shipping? Shipping was $100 for me so that makes it about $204 a wheel.

The rims were 209$ each for the polished 16x8 TTII's from summit. Shipping from summit was $7.95
American racing wheels are pricey...I love the TTII's but I wish I would have gotten 17's.

I'm not a big fan of the synpers because even in 17" size they look small, but it is a definate improvement over the previous rims.
What would u call the color of your car, I really like that.

You will really enjoy the wheels. I still am suprised on how good the car looks with the Snypers compared to the old rims. Wheels really do make a car.devianb, funny you should mention the color. The front part of the car is basically the only area that really has paint on it
The car was hit on front so it got repainted. The color is the stock color. It's a metallic maroon. Not a bad shade. I want a blue color though for the car. The rims look small on my car mostly do to the fact it has the stock suspension. After it gets lowered they will fill the wheel wells quite nicely.

looking good, if you're going to drop it, don't go any farther than an inch.
