Pictures of my new wheels and tires

I actually got them a while ago but I just bought a new digital
camera last week. They are 17x8 for the front and 17x9.5 for the
rear. I will get some pictures of them on the car within the next
couple of weeks. I am waiting until the car is back from my
uncles shop having some mechanical bugs worked out. I also
picked up a set of McGard chrome lugnuts and valve stems to
install them.

Those look NICE man! What brand/model rim is that? I don't think I've seen them before.
Looking forward to seeing them on your car!

They are Centerline Matrix (5-spoke version) and they are going
on my 84z28. The only thing I don't like is that I will not be
putting in the eibach pro-kit springs and new shocks until next year. I
just hope that the fender gap doesn't ruin the look of the
larger diameter wheels. I'm not doing the suspension work yet,
because after this fall I am overhauling the entire car (suspension,
body work, paint, interior) the whole nine yards.

Those are really nice, IMO 5 spoke rims look the best on our cars.

wdigitog - The gap should remain the same, because I chose
tires that give an overall diameter that is the same as the
255/50/16's I had before. However, the gap will appear bigger
because the lower profile of the 17 inch tire sidewall pronounces
it.

reilly8282 - I don't mind they ran me $1050 for all four wheels. I
ordered them through Summit Racing and suggest anyone else
ordering centerline wheels to do the same. They can get any
style but you just have to wait about 6 weeks. However, all of
the shipping is free. The tires ran me about $600 from tirerack
and they were here in 2 days. Oh by the way you can't order
these wheels, because I want to be the only one with them

I should have some pictures of them on my car within two weeks.
I just got off of the phone with my uncle and I am going down
next week to finish up some things and then it should be ready
by the next week. I can't wait to get my car done so I can enjoy
it in some of this nice weather, instead of driving my wagon.
