I just got my wheels and tires on Friday. It took me 4 1/2 months to get them, you wouldn’t believe what I had to go through! I actually really wanted the Cragars, but Im very happy the way things turned out.

I got 4 of the 17x9 with 5” bolt pattern, and had inserts made for 4.75”. For tires I went with the HTRZII 245/45/17 for the front and 275/40/17 for the back.

I think they look awesome. The car sits up kinda high, but I don’t really want to lower it because of the pipes and the front spoiler. This fall I want to redo the coil springs and struts/shocks. I wish there was some kind of adjustable height system? The OEM breaks suck. Next summer I want to redo them, I was looking in to this Baer company?

I resized the pics down a little bit. I know that on the internet the Snypers are as common as *******s, but I never once seen another set in person or even talked to someone that heard of them!

Heres a pic a few months ago before I got the new paint and wheels.


Heres the tires


The wheels and center caps just out of the box. I didnt realize they went on from the inside, and I didnt get them on. I didnt care though, I waited the whole summer since April just to get ANY wheels.


The Snypers and stockers, side by side. I actually got these 15x7z wheels in Florida while on vacation 4 years ago. I had the standard coupe wheels on when I got the car, I paid $600 to a professional who just had them restored and took them back with me to pa in the car. I didnt take too good of care of them though.


yes...yes


Heres the next day, at the Phillies stadium, there was no game so I just pulled in and snapped a pic


Up on Skyline Drive


A mile down the road


At Blue Marsh Lake


A close up of the wheel without the center cap. It looks sweet, but I need to redo the breaks. Hopefully next spring/summer.


I know theres alot of people out there looking for Snypers, if anyone has questions feel free to email me! jmo383@aol.com

 

thats an awesome lookin car, it would look much better if it were about 1" lower and had some nice chrome pipes stickin out the back...other than it looks great...how much did you pay for the wheels and tires?

 

Ur car looks amazing. Im lovin the snypers, They look awsome. I want to get myself some.

Nice ride

 

Your car looks good,as stated above it would look better a bit lower. As for the brakes upgrade do the Baer's they look great behind the Snypers.

 

Looks Awesome!! The whole car looks great. Good Job!! What do you have under the hood?

 

They look good. I too was planning on getting Snypers, but the design shows a little too much brake for. I noticed that the center hub on the Snypers are smaller than the stock wheel. Did that present a problem when mounting the front wheels?

 

hey i live in aus and it took me 4 months to get them ...great looking wheel imo
as for the brakes YES they do show a little more than stock ..wish i could get a better set over here in aus
btw is an RS BUT has 350 tpi /zz4cam and alloy heads

 

I got the wheels from Skulte. Im not really happy with the service I got. They said it would ship next day but it ended up taking about a month till I got them. They were nice about it though, so I cant say anything really bad about them, but I cant say anything really good either. I paid $229 a wheel plus $30 for shipping. The tires were $115/$130 from Tirerack. Everything total was about $1,500.

I have a little 383 under the hood. I built it a few year ago for my high school project and used the car for a daily driver. Last year I got a second car and now the camaro usually sits in the garage most of the time. Im trying to keep it nice, which is why I got the paint job and new wheels.

The only problem getting the wheels on were the lug nuts. I thought special ones where coming with, but I didn’t get any. I did a search on the message board and everyone said they used stock. I don’t know if it was just my wheels or what, but everything has to be put in just perfectly or they wont fit. I couldn’t use a lug wrench as it wouldn’t fit in.

 

Looks great!!

 

turned out great, nice looking!!

 

I love 'em!

 

i love it, and that is one SWEET maroon rs!!!!! if i lived in austraila id steal that car. lol
