Those wheels look great. Look good on the car too. Been seeing more people coating diff factory wheels lately with great results.

ya i really wanted them to last, and be easy to clean inside and out.......they charge 200 bucks a set to coat them, they charged me 250, because those rims suck with all the little holes and crevices......but very reasonable price for the work.

thanks man, i really like the wheels.....i've been planning them since i bought the car as a stock 91 RS like 5 years ago lol

The higher ride hight gives it more of a street fighter look in my opinion anyway. It looks tough, can it back up the look? Might I suggest you give it a bath??? LOL

Look at his engine combo under his user name.......im sure he can and with a suspension thats meant for launching, im sure it can!

Looks real good. I now know how mine will sit when I got with the drag luanch springs. Have any action shots from the front of a launch? How does it feel?

Cept lowering a car improves cornering but its pretty obvious thats not what your going for. I can understand though snapping at that comment because its all everyone says nowadays(even myself) especally when people ask for opinions on apperance.

That car looks awesome as is, gotta love the front mount on a camaro.

That thing looks ominous. I love the intercooler through the grill, and the way the exhaust peeks out under the car.

Supercharged 383..damn! How does she drive? Do you have an hp numbers and times?

it cruises good, but it needs serious tuning lol......it gets lean when you get on the throttle and pops....and i think the bypass needs adjusting too.
