Looks clean, but you might wanna shorten your sig. You don't have to list "mods" such as valve stems and locking gas cap

I am not a big fan of Sport Coupes, but who gives a f#@k what I think. Looks good. The dice valve stems seem questionable.

Please don't get those rims! They belong on trucks and SUV's. Get some IROC rims, polish them and your car will look killer!!

IF & thats a big IF i do decide on getting tt2 rims then id have to stick with 15x8's since i just got new tires put on it last spring...what do you think?would that look ok?of course id have the tires turned the other way so the white walls wont show..

as far as the rear blockouts i have them,havent put them on yet because of the snow & salt..im waiting til spring...

i think torque thrusts are ugly as ever in 15", 16" is ok... 17" looks awesome, if you have to stick with 15" wheels, what i was going to do was get 15x7 silver 5 spoke rims, there are a lot of them out there, and i think they look pretty clean on a sport coupe if you need to stick with 15".

the wheels on this car:

https://www.thirdgen.org/rides/index...ew&rideid=8494



just a thought, i was going to get these wheels, but held off for now and praying that a few deals work through to get rid of the car as it is.

I like it, for some odd reason i think the black on the bottom of sport coupes don't look bad at all...

The car has alot of potential....

but i loved those rims.....what do about the rims that are on FLYNLOW's camaro the neeper rims,their awesome too.....omg now i am lost(so to speak)-lol
They come with a hefty price tag....

I paid over $1,300 for mine....

If you are going for more of the muscle car look, keep the 15" tires you have now, and when they are worn down and need to be replaced upgrade to some 17" TT2's............OR some 17" Chrome Neeper Synchros.....

camarogirl18, just do what you want to do with the car if you want those rims get them; what you do on the car is for you not for everyone else.

camarogirl i think the nitros look good on a camaro. although im saying this cuz i have them. do what you like i did. i think they looked sweet when i had them on the car. i have 16" polised nitros. they are a bitch to clean but when clean my rims shined like chrome. im currently awaiting to put them on my lil bros 88 camaro im working on. sorry no pics i havent had a chance to develop any.

Well I only say it because thats what I would do ( not meaning put those rims on), what I want not what others want; I like what Iwant even though I don't have my bird yet when I get it I will not let people change my mind about what I want, but its good that you are asking opinions but you have to put into acount that everyone here wants there cars to look almost stock but better and they don't like wild rims on a 3rd gen. I kinda like those nittos yet kinda hate them so its a love hate thing lol, if it was mine I would most likely get some other rims than those, but I was just saying that because if you wanted them you shouldn't let us stop you.

I think that some gfx and some Eibach Sportlines would look good. Also, 18" Iroc rims would look really nice. The car looks pretty good already, but with a little work it'll look a lot better. I don't think she likes sitting around i that snow though...lol Either way, she looks like she's being taken care of.

keep your eye out for ebay... just gotta make sure you get a 4.5" backspace (i think? someone check that) and a 5x4.75" lug pattern just a quick browse on there i saw a 15x8 but the wrong lug pattern, but ya never know. or try some local dealers and stuff, since theres a good chance they have some.

just a thought
