Here she is

Haven't put any new pics of her since she was painted. Thanks to a buddy of mine for lending me some rims. At least I know what rims I'm going to buy now.

Post some pics of the underbody and exhaust. Curious to see the x-pipe and how the pipes are routed to the back.

The five spoke rim is natural to the third gen.. its influence is evident in the entire chevy line of vehicles up to this day ( I could be wrong, but I think most rims are a derivative of our 5 spokes)

Anything other than 5 spokes looks like it is for bling. If you've a 6cyl however.. feel free to bling till your hearts content.

not too keen on the rims my self. i think the rest of the car looks awsome, and like the others have said, go with some 5 spokes. they definatly look the best on our cars in my opinion. make sure if you go too thin with spokes though, you switch out those ugly stock brakes to some nice big baer's or simmilar. good luck with your rim shopping!

so everyone here likes what I had on her before. Keep in mind guys, those rims where on there for just a trial basis. I Put these back on her.

If you left those *** awful rims on your car i would quite literally cry. Your car looks gorgeous and has the drivetrain to back up its looks. The stock wheels look very good on it, a billet 5 spoke would be a nice upgrade but anything is better then the rims you had in the first pic

17"s and a Pro-Kit drop would do wonders for that car.

IF you are actually looking at rims. ROH makes SWEET wheels for our cars and there prices are more than reasonable. I'm on my third style (set) of them. Checkout jdwheels.com. I have 17" black ice RT's and couldn't be happier.
