well i finally got a camera and i was able to take some pics this afternoon....car is a little dirty so don't mind it.

also for those looking for the drop you'll have to wait, i had to raise it up to get it out of the trailer and didn't have time to lower it before taking the pictures.

 

number 2....

 

last one for today.

 

Very very nice. :hail: I know how many times you have heard this...but damn, you have a helluva nice ride!

 

wow! I have seen your car in person with the z06's on there, but from this picture, i say i like those better! Car is looking really great! nice camaro in the background too, is that yours?
:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Looks damn nice buddy. Great work.

 

thanks guys for the kind words, i really appreciate it....

no that thirdgen isn't mine, it is actually a friends ....there are a total of 5 thirdgens there but i didn't want to fill up the webspace. lord knows how the moderators like that.

 

Yez, I am very pleased that you went with a deep dished rim, I love thirdgens or any car of that matter with deep dished rims. Those new pics show the paint of really well, looks Kandied to me now.


What kind of offset you using for the rear? Your rear wheels look like they are pushed to the very edge of that fender lip.

 

good eye there.....

yes it's as far as possible while staying inside enough to really drop the car. it's a little over a 4" rear lip and it's right on the edge. the face was reverse mounted and the lip double rolled on the barrel in order to get that extra bit of lip out of it! i have to basically reach the other side of the rim to fill up the tire which is sort of a pain with a 285 but it was worth it to keep the wheel smooth without having the valve stem showing.

:lala:

 

Beautiful!!! Rims look better then I thought they would too!

Got anymore pics? (I know you do), you gotta send them to me.

 

Simply Stunning.

let me wash the car....i'm putting the motor back together tonight and i'm going to drop it to the right height. then i'll put some more up.

thanks again guys!

 

I was thinking of pushing my rims and tires to the edge of my fender lips too, but with no gfx, that would be a lot of tire tread showing than I'd particulary care for without looking similar to an open wheeled car. so I'm going to stay with a a slightly tucked under stance.

Looks good though. I know what you mean about that valvestem. I just have to ignore it on the GTA rims. that valve stem sticks out like a tail.

 

You gotta get some higher res ones too like 1024x768, I need a new background

So whats next to do to the car??

 

I agree, but take some new pics by a park or country side or lake. Not really digging the trailer and fence background in the pics.

 

Or some scenic buildings.....

Something like this maybe

 

what size rims are those and what tires and stuff....come on man! give up the specs

 

Hey Kandied, those rims are gorgeous, good job man.

 

Looks great! Way better than the Z06 wheels!

 

Damn you again you go and make everyone look bad! Good work what kind of wheels are those? How much they cost, and what size? Cool NICE

 

Those look awesome, they look MUCH better on the car than your old rims did. I like how you can see the brakes a lot more. Kick *** car

 

WOW!!

Is exactly what I said out loud when the page opened...that is an awsome look! The wheels are absolutely perfect and sit just right. The car looks better each time you mess with it. Well done once again...:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

what size are they? i like it, looks like a G machine (and no i dont mean ghetto)

 

WOW! Your car is the most amazing looking car I have ever seen. Not just third gen, but that is the most amazing car I have ever seen period!

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: nice:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

very beautiful

 

The back ones kinda look like they stick out past the lip. Nice rims tho would like to see it when its lower also. Also u say a lil dirty lol i put a nice paint job on mine and have to keep it outside it kills me.

 

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

Bad *** man. I wanna see pics, more pics lol. Stunning, some pics from behind would be sweet.

:hail:

 

Jeff If you keep raising the bar the rest of us will never catch up or even see your taillights in the distance. Slow down bro. Ride keeps lookin better every time you post. Good luck with future mods.

 

Sweet ride, rims are so much better than the ZO6s, very impressive

 

wow...i didn't think they would get such a positive response. thanks alot everyone! i was a little worried going with a company that isn't commonly used and a simple design but i'm very happy with it as it really gives the car that custom look i've been trying to get. the wheels are 18" boze stingers, 18x8 front and 10 rear with 245/40/18 y and 285/35/18 y. they will typically run 9-1000 a rim with all the options i had chosen. i picked them up significantly less for being the first to order the style in michigan.

your right about the fronts and a big reason why i went with such a style, i was very disappointed that more people pointed out my adapters then the brakes bolted to them. the rears only look the way they do because of the light...when it's lowered it looks very nice.

as far as the picture you guys have to give me some slack. i rolled it out of the trailer and took a picture, i didn't set it up that way. just wanted to show a few who have been asking rather then making them wait a few days for the perfect picture!

thanks again everyone!

 

Razzle Dazzle, man. I dig. I dig.

 

thanks!

those looking for more pictures check out my last page....i will be posting more within a day or two.

I have yet to run my car in MI, its only been run in NJ

 

Now that is badass....

I don't like stock cars all that much, but *** damn that car is frikken sweet....

I look forward to more pictures, and seeing the future mods.....

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

jealousy sinking in ,in 3, 2, 1, :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: i want :lala:

 

Very nice looking combination! I am eager to see more pictures.


Jason

 

thanks guys....i just finished the motor and added a few more suspension pieces so i'll try to get some decent pictures this weekend.

 

Oh, my, that looks really damn good...:hail:

My main goal now with my car is to someday top you and Graboid.. yeah right.. that won't happen... lol

 

Wow.

Very Tasteful. I love those damn rims man.

Simple, dished, 5 spoke. And they arent painted, Go<x>d how i hate that new trend.

With the z06's, i kept looking at the brakes, as you and several others were mentioning that you didnt like how silly it looked with the spacers. I didnt think it was that bad until i saw these shots with the new stock. Built to size is apparently the way to go.

Ive been chattin in email with Coddington about some wheels too...

 

who have you been talking with? bob is currently their head designer. he told me that they can make slight variations to all their designs and for a fee obviously design anything you want.

i really like their wheels but after dealing with them on other issues and seeing first hand with my own i know why there is such a price difference. if i would have had to pay full price i definately would have went with a nice set of boyds. you can't go wrong.

i took it up to a cruise in tonight just to show off the new rims and take a brake from under the hood. I can't imagine how many people love the billet over the chrome z06's. i'm very happy with them.

 

That's tight like butt muscles man! What size rims are those?

 

18x8 front 18x10 rear.

 

very nice :hail:

 

Looks fantastic man!! Awesome choice for your already super clean Z.


Ken

 

thanks!
