Re: Opinions on new rims and lowering springs!
Looking good, where did you getthe rims & tires. They look sweet, also where did you get the spring & shock/strut combo from. Need to drop & get rims for my other car i got.

Re: Opinions on new rims and lowering springs!
I actually had 17 inch black Z06 motorsport wheels with the polished lip on the car before, and I really didn't like how they looked. I had always wished I went with chrome after that, so now I did it, and am very happy. To each thier own though. My bro had black wheels on his camaro and it looked GREAT! Guess it depends on the car.

Re: Opinions on new rims and lowering springs!
Thanks all for the comments! I wasn't expecting the car to drop quite so much with the springs, but it worked out for the better I think because it looks perfect to me. Just have to watch the speed bumps!
And luvofjah, your car is a sleeper! I saw the sig pic of it and figured it was a real clean stock notch, but then saw that it was a procharged 305. Must surprise a lot of people!

WhitedevilTA Looks Great! How does the Tokico package ride? What color are the springs? I have been looking at the kit, and just want some feedback. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of chrome wheels, but your car sits very nice with those springs.

Re: Opinions on new rims and lowering springs!
Yea, you either love em or hate them. Some people don't like chrome, and I have never had a chrome set on the car before these, and I LOVE them. As for the wheel design, I have always been a huge fan of a split 5 spoke.....they look better in person haha. Pics make the fronts look like crap, except for the side shot.
