Here a few shots of a set of wheels that are going on the ride. They are HP Racing Evo rims 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front both with 38mm offset. The tires will be 265/35 19 rear and 235/40 19 front. I bought them from my bro who had them on his E46 323i. I will be using 1.5" spacers front and back. Not bad for $300

Please tell me that your car is or will be lowered!
It's already lowered about 2" all around. I'm worried that my tire selection is going to rub. I decided not to go with the 265/35 19 rear because it's such a rare tire size. I'm going with 275/35 19 rear and 245/40 19 front.

Here's an update. The 1.5" spacers came in yesterday and got them installed. I got the tires installed and mounted them on the car. I will have to roll the rear lip for extra clearance but I couldn't be more happier with the way they turned out. I'm making custom polished aluminum center caps. Time to update my sig

Did you run spacers on the rear? Seeing how deep the dish looks, I'd be surprised if you needed them.
Even the fronts look borderline, depending on how thick the center hub is.
I ran 1.5" spacers all around. The wheels have a 1.5" positive offset(38mm)The front wheels are exactly even with the inside lip of the fender and rears are the same but the rear fender lip has to be rolled because there is about 1/4" clearance between the tire and lip and I only have a 1/4 tank of gas in it. There will be less clearance with a full tank and me in the car not to mention if I pick up any blonde hitchikers with big ti.....you get the idea.
Put in a 4th gen rear end & you'd get bigger brakes (which you'll want in a 19" wheel), better limited slip/posi unit, and you should be able to ditch the rear spacers & have the wheels end up in the exact same spot!
Oh...You take the blondes....I'll take the black hair or redheads.

Screw that I'll take em all! As far as the brakes and the posi go I already have the LS1 front and rear brake conversion and the diff is an Auburn limited slip with Richmond 3.73 gears, welded axle tubes and TA diff cover.
Those wheels look Sweet! love the dished look, I was looking to go a similar path with my car, but the only ones I saw that I lilked was the BOZE wheels, I'll have to recheck some options. For $300, that is excelent! You had to roll the fender in the back, but not the front?? Did I read right?
BTW, I'm not a big fan of most aftermarket wings, but the one you have there is very tastefull. All around, the car looks great, nice combo of parts!

Yes the back lip is rolled and the fronts are fine. Thanks for compliments!

That car looks insane. Looks scarey kinda lol. The tinted windows, and all black. The headlights are sick too. Nice job, the wheels just finish it off!

I was driving behind a buddy of mine(in a non-gay way) and he told me the car looks pissed off.

Im an ADR fan myself...I like they way they show off the brakes. That way once the CTS-V brakes are installed they stand out. Im not too sure about the rear visor or the spoiler but to each his own. Nicer than most camaros I see.

Check out my cardomain page for more pics and the story behind my car. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2301007
I did a thread about never really seeing some eye catching rims i like on our 3rd gens. But these are the first. Nice look! Whats even more strange is that i came across some very similiar rims in my new issue of Camaro Performers mag and wondered how they would look on my RoC? Now i know.
I love your car... but Im not a huge fan of the EVOs... I think the ADR's looked better.
Still a good looking ride though, I'm sure you'll continue to turn even more heads with it.
I especially love those headlight covers. Didn't you make custom covers for people for a while? Do you still do that?
I used to make them for members but I stopped making them. Too time consuming. I would've went with the ADR's but the price I paid for the EVO's made them ALOT more attractive

they look disgustingly awesome!!! aren't those like $1000 wheels? or am i confusing brands
I'm not sure how much they cost brand new but one thing for sure is that these wheels are HEAVY compared to the centerlines I had on before. The centerlines weighed in at 47lbs each with the tire. The EVO's weigh in at 61lbs each with tire for the rear and 59lbs each with tire for fronts. I added 52 total lbs more unsprung weight with these wheels.
Hey man everything looks good ......for a while i wanted the adr m-sports then i wanted the evos.but non came in the sizes I wanted so i held out. but looks very good do have a pic of your car from the side( showing the shade on the top of the window..... always saw those in the year one catolog and always wondered.... only thing i dont like about you car is the rear wing i would take it off personaly.
goood job!
~edit~ looked at your cardomain, you have a very nice car enjoy it
very nice, that was one of the many ideas for rims i had. glad you got them on, they look great.
I dont know if you ment to sound sad and regretfull about your choice but i like your rims too. And for real pwdbychevy looks like you spent a long time thinking about your ride looks beautiful time well spent imo
