I love the SS 10 spoke rims...those would have been my choice if it had not been because you need adapters to run them.
PROCHARGED - well i dont know springfield isant that big lol, but rolling/old keene mill intersection is pretty much 3 minutes from my house.

Alright, Alright... Nick(BlueZee28) is coming across all kinds of "For Sales" on wheels on his area forums. Any of you know of wheels? I primarily only search this site and Z28.com, I don't come across too much. I can get some weld wheels and drag radials for my car for $400(a close buddy, blew his tranny, trying to get money), but I want flashy!

There are only two distributors of ROH rims in the USA. I purchased mine from Group A, Inc. - Your Source For ROH, Simmons, and DeZenyo Wheels I can't remember the name of the other. Look for a used set on forum classifieds or ebay. Mine are 17x9 all the way around with 275/40-R17 drag radials on the rear. If I could do it again I would use 18x11 in the rear. There is PLENTY of room, at least on my car without ground effects. The 17x9 rims just got swallowed up and look normal. I wanted a fat tire look and didn't get it.

Thanks, they are 17x9 Black Ice all around with 275/40/17 back and 255/45/17 front. No spacers, they are 3rd gen specific. personaly I think I my front tires are too tall. when I get new ones I will get 255/40/17.
Edit: forgot to add, that is an awesome looking Z you have. The stripes look really good with that color.
