Dude, that is 'effin sweet.....

Eric

 

wow that looks so fresh and so clean. i like it

 

i've been wanting to find a cheap set of those for a while now and you just proved to me why...

 

wow.. those rims look awesome! Beautiful ride man. very nice!

 

Dude did you get your temps on june 12?

 

I love the wheels~!

Only problem is, I'm like most 3rd gen owners- broke or i'd be rollin on them myself

Would you mind telling is what they cost all together with spacers and tires? If not no big deal, but i guess it doesn't hurt to ask :lol

 

Im glad you guys like it, i paid 2150$ for it all, the tires "goodyear eagle f1's" same ones as on the corvette, and the spacers.. its alot but thats the best i could find them for... i didnt put the corvette logo on the center cap because i want to put like a z28 logo on it or osmething? can anyone help me out as to where the hell i would find somehting like that? thanks!

 

wow, very nice, i like but damm that was alot of money
maybe a red/marroon bowtie for the center caps would look good.
thats all i can think of
later

Those rims look absolutly awesome. Nice job very clean Z!!:hail: :hail:

 

Holy ****, that looks awesome! About $2100 out of my price range though

 

The price was worth it man, I just wish I could afford to do that. That is a seriously clean and mean looking car.

 

Looking pretty sweet. Better than I thought they would look. That really isnt a bad price when you think about it. I have known people that have dropped 1500 per wheel.

About the wheel rubbing. You might want to have someone standing outside next to the front of your car and watch where it is rubbing. Least that is a start to know what might be out of whack.

On the centercaps. Try www.afswheels.com. They are supplier of the camaro/firebird/corvette wheels and they have different centercaps available.

 

Schweeet!

Twistopher-the link doesn't work.

 

take it for an alignment

your tie-rods need to be adjusted

 

I think you need to take some pics in the sunlight so we can really see them. Looks pretty good I think.

 

www.afswheels.com

the period on the end was screwing up. Another place was www.performancewheeloutlet.com

 

ok its a little lighter outside, so i took a couple pics, but it doesnt do justice, i need the sun outside , its a crappy day today thou..

 

another

 

last one for today unless it gets sunny

 

Great lookign rims! What's the size?

Also, nobody mentioned your paint. It looks awesome man, great job!

 

damn....that looks really nice, i thought it was a dark purple in the first pics. I really like it though. where did u get the rims and tires for such a great price? my rims cost 2100 and they are only 17 by 8s. and they are american racing torq a thruster

 

nice car...needs a drop though.

 

Not just the rims the whole car is nice.

 

those are some sweet y2k's! c5's look good on camaros as well but I like those the best, soon I'll have those and a ram air hood!!!!

 

That looks sweet. I like it.

 

Very very nice. Almost makes me wonder if I should have went with those instead of Zr1s. Perfect car man.

 

Yeah the zr1's are nice but too many cars have them.. this is more orgininal and i think these look much better, but the zr1's are definetly nice to plain lookin thou

 

Looks good. I have the same color camaro but it doesn't look that good. I am getting my paint job in two weeks so watch out!What size tires do you have? What are the F1's rated at (speed wise)?

Soon to be painted 91 Z28

 

That deifinitely is SWEET!!! Had to get every kind of angle didn't you? LOL

 

Looks sweet man!!! Aren't you supposed to take off the shoe polish before you leave the track though?? hehe.

 

Those look awesome. Sweet ride also.

I cant afford those wheels, hopefully I can find some WS6's for cheaper, then my car will look like this.

PHOTOSHOPPED

 

it is 275 40 18 in the back and 245 45 17 in the front for the tires, im getting a little bit of rubbing thou, so im workin on how to fix that, not sure how to yet? yeah i kept the numbers on my car from the track, i think it looks cool hehe makes it look like my car is fast even thou it is NOT!!! i took my car to the track last week, it is bone stock with 50k miles on it, 305 tpi auto, it ran a 15.5, that sucks

 

Well i thin ki'm not getting them. I was thinking of it but now i realize i can't afforrd to put $2,000 rims on my car. I thought i paid alot when i bought the rims for my monte. The are creger street lite II. and with the rims and tires i paid (with tire discount of $215) $1,125. But on the monte the stock tire are like 14s. so the car would handle like ****. When i put the cregers on it was like night and day. Completly different car. And looks a hell of a lot better then without them. I have gotten a lot of comments about this car and still love it. But i think i like my 89 iroc better. Thats why i'm giving the monte to my father. This way i can still drive it when i want and he can drive the iroc when he wants. ( which will probably be all the time. good thing i on it he can't say its in his name so he can drive it when he wants)

 

Well get modding!!!! I was coming back to this post to ask you what you ended up running. It been a long time since I have been to the track. I need to go back sometime.

 

Dude your car looks incredible. I have the same color t-tops and everything. I was waiting for some one to post pics of my car with rims. Im going on ebay now to try and find my self a set . Did you paint that car or is that origional? I am looking to get a paintjob but i dont want to spend more than 1000 so im guessing ill wind up at maaco.

 

question. Are you painting your cam the same color? I am painting my camaro maroon (brilliant red or whatever you call it) in a couple of weeks. Some drunk ******* decided to hit my car as he was backing up. Well, i least i get a new paint job right?

 

AWESOME rims! I always wondered what those
would look like on our cars after seeing the rims
in CHP magazine every month. I just bought a
set of ROH Snypers and am very pleased with
them.. I usually don't like chrome rims on our
cars but Damn that LOOK GOOD. Way to
go man. Was it $2100 for both rims and tires?

 

Yeah same color and everytthing. I am fixing alot of bodywork problems and faded fiberglass stuff ie hood blisters wing, gfx

 

Yes that is the orginial paint on the car, it only has 50k miles on it, when i bought it it was just chillin in someone garage, they didnt know what they hell it was and i bought it for 8 grand it was a great deal, it only had 40k miles on it at the time, it was 2150 for rims, tires, and the spacers! so i think thats a pretty good deal dont u? oh and

My car might be for sale in the next week or so i was bidding on a 92 z28 on ebay with only 19k miles on it, and noone won the bid, but the guy is emailing me, he wants me to finance through his dealership and im probably going to do that if he lets me, its a beauty, its red with black stripes, even thou i like the burgandy a hell of a lot better,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1836292510

what do you think of that? he wants 12k for it

 

That car on ebay is really nice 5 speed is sweet too. But for that much money I would rather find a nice 91-92 1le car and clean it up a little bit.

 

I usually don't like those rims on our cars but they do look pretty good on that 1.

 

12K sounds kinda steep, but you can't really put a price on some of those low mile cars. I love those rims. I had them for my RS, bought them off of some 17 year old kid with a vette for only 500, but never bought rubber for them (came with some worn out front tires and no rear tires). I was going to until I saw a 91RS down the street with them on it so I decided to go with ZR1s to be different (different for Cincinnati anyway). My brother's got those rims on his TA now. Anyway, beautiful car, what size are the spacers, they seem to stick out even less than mine and I went with a smaller size than skulte recommended. By the way, I do like your rims better than mine, only rim that looks better than that on an f-body is the firehawk rim.
