Looks good... is that a Ram Air II? That's very close to what my car's gonna look like, only no ground effects and a 91-style nose. (I have a 91 Formula)

nice, theres been a few different pictures posted over time with those. used on alot of older lowriders.

i like them a little larger as it shows the detail a little better. they look good on your car.

Different. Not my style but they do look nice. I think they would look better if they were bigger though. Are those 16's?

Not my cup of tea. I may have liked them better in a bigger size, but they just don't seem to fit the overall appearance of the car.

i like them! i think they look pretty slick, but i do agree with the idea to drop your car about an inch all the way around...

Thanks

Thanks everyone.. They are centerlines. No I did not need an adapter they made them to my specifications.. The car already has Ibach pro springs (1inch drop) actually dropped it a little less than 1 inch tho.. I am going to put the Ibach 2inch drop springs on there soon..

size

In was going to get 17's instead of 16's but I already had farely new and expensive tires on my 16 GTA rims so I didn't want to have to buy new tires..

And yes that is the 98+ ws6 hood and spoiler as well.. Thanks again everyone for the opinons, have a good day...

Those are very nice looking on your car. I really like the centerline
galaxy wheels on trans-ams. I ordered the 17" 5-spoke
matrix style for my camaro, but thought about the galaxy style.
Great looking car .

I don't know what it is about those rims... when I look at them not on the car, I don't like them- at all. Not something I would ever put on my car. Then when I see them on your car, I think they look great. Very nice ride man

about the springs

About the springs, If you want it to look like that I would say the 2'.. I already have the 1' and you can see by the pics at the top it really isn't dropped all that much.. still made a diff tho.. Feels better when your driving too..

Thanks again everyone for the compliments...

Here is an old pic....
