Re: pic's with new rims

Awesome Nice couple of Z's!

Drop top for the summer, T-top for wet seats in the winter...

Is the new 91 a 5spd?

Will be nice to see you the 6th and some other new faces for a change.

Re: pic's with new rims

Love the rims they look like they were a factory option! I also like the custom top you have! Lower it 1" in front and 2" in the rear and you are set.

Re: pic's with new rims

Thanks guys for the good words. as far as the top goes, it's only a patch covering a cut, it was like that when i bought it.

The other wheels i was considering were the twenty inch irocs. Everywhere i looked everybody had them on their car; montys, novas, and s10 pickups. there are too many around and i like to be different, so c6 wheels it was!

I think the c6 rims look good on 3rd gens...

I'll be leaving from Tracy and can meet up with you guys somewhere. How about a gas station near the freeway or something. I can leave about 15 minutes before you guys do so I get there when you guys plan to leave...

Re: pic's with new rims

I think it looks good, but I feel the spokes are just a tad too thin. Maybe it's just me though. I like the rim size and all though. Sharp looking ride too.

Looks good, I'm kinda partial to Boyds Junkyard though. Did you man up for the run flats too. Had them on my C5 and was thankful more than once.
