Ditched the Convo's for a bit of a better stance.

Looks amazing! I think that is the first time I've seen that style of rim and said "wow, I like that". That is one sharp car you have, and I think those new rims make it look even better. :hail:

Nice car. The paint looks amazing, and 18" rims definately look good on the car...just not those!

well looking at all these rims lately , im glad i got 18's , 17's dont look good , they look too small. Im mixed on the look of those. I dont know what to think . Them being 18's make them look better.

Convo's I sold, starting auto Xing as apposed to so much drag racing.

Looking forward to G9, car should be in good shape by then I hope.

Wheels wasn't my first imparticular choice, but on a side note I do not lik ehaving th esame wheel that 10,000 other third gens or 4th gens have on them, prefer to be a bit different.

I rarely say this but I actually like the convo pros better, although I like the stance of the new rims better. I like the design of the rims, but they look like they match up better to a bike or a one-off hotrod.
