Sport Coupe with 92 RS wheels

In case anyone was curious, here's how it looks!








And here's a random reflection shot. The paint looks ok still despite how beat up it is. The window felt is hammered, but check out that sweet new weatherstripping!

As you can see, the RS isn't in a state to go anywhere.

those wheels to me personally dont fit the car...

They fit 91-92 RSs and Z28s looks kinda outta place on the older models

Yeah, I kinda feel like they don't fit the car, 'cause I'm so used to and expect to see them on a '91-92 it's kinda weird to see them on an SC. You know what I mean?
With that said, I think they look great, but for us more diehard 3rd genners (like anyone on this site) will think it's weird 'cause we're used to otherwise.
So if it makes since, I think they would look great to the average guy walking by looking at your car, but anyone who's into third gen's will have to give them a second look and let it sink in what makes it look different than normal

Hey I thought it looked out of place at first, too. The combo has grown on me well, though, and when the car gets lowered, it will look much better.

1badbowtie: I'd love to do some work with the SC, but it's my daily driver. I plan to work up the RS and tear down the SC afterwards if I keep it.

mw66nova: I was planning on selling it because I had another car, but I wrecked it fairly quickly. So it'll be sticking around for awhile.

that looks really clean, a wheel company should remake this wheel and make them wider and bigger
