Wheels I'm going with

99.5% of you will probably hate me for doing this, but I love the look. Why? Because it's different. I don't want to have a TT2, snyper, etc camaro. Not that theres anything wrong with those wheels, they just aren't for me. Let me know what you think!

EDIT: This is a photoshop, just an FYI

I think they should be left to off road vehicles, but if you like them, dont let anyone stop you. Goodluck.

Actually...that doesn't look half bad. I like the NASCAR look!
Makes the car look like a bully on the street. Hopefully you have an engine that can follow through ;-)

Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels are made by the company that owns cragar. The only problem is that they only come in 16x8, and not 16x10(for the back). I'm going to see if I can find a machine shop to widen the back to 9.5 or 10 inches.

As for the engine to back it up, it's only a stock 350 I've decided on the vortec heads, new base, headers, and supporting mods to the intake. Should be a decent runner.

look closer and you'll see that it's not a z28 at all but a 85-s which explains the rh drive option
