thanks man i appreciate it....

yea i plan on doin just that...but so low on money right now (had car financed...so got to pay payments...insurance...and gas *sigh*) may ask the folks for christmas this year though....what are some of the better looking wheels for our cars?

i was thinking of getting the ones on my 91 RS chromed and putting them on there

(this is the black one in the background of the 2nd pic before the rattlecan job lol)...but those wheels...anyone have a picture of what those look like chromed?

Image removed- You're obviously aware of the rule, so why post it?

Personally, I think they look better polished with the painted inserts. And doesn't chrome corrode?

Thats what I plan on doing to the rims on my 92. I dont know about the corroding, but chrome rims dont need as much upkeep as polished ones.

I remember when I was 18 and had 3 third gens, but that grew old fast. It might have been better if they all didnt need work. 3 third gens and still not one drivable ws insane. instead of fixing one, Id buy another. Its like going to the animal shelter LOL.......

Trust me, I learned my lesson. At one time, I owned 12 cars, 1 of which ran(!)When my daughter was born (about a year ago) I decided that raising her was more important than owning all the cars I wanted at once. So I sold all 3 of my Camaros, my Corvette, and my S10 Xtreme and bought my 92 RS as a daily driver/ocasional car show car. Ive got the rest of my life to own and maintain all my favorite cars.

Trust me, its easier to fix one up to your liking, and then buy your next project.

You know the sad thing is that Im actually considered the "sane" one in my group of friends. One buddy currently has 19 cars, 7 of which are firebirds, and another who has 21 cars, and his dad owns 18. So in his backyard they have 39 vehicles and 1 semi ( and 2 bikes). Needless to say I got out before I got in too deep like them.
