I was wondering what you all thought of the new rims on the car...

as well as overall thoughts on the looks of the car.


Please dont flame, but honest opinions are welcome good or negative.

thanks


Some of these may be big so forgive me.

Here is how it used to be :





And now :


Heres a side shot :



Side with Front Angled


Side with Rear Angled


Head On!



rear quarter with wheel and brakes:


Rear Wheel Close UP:


Motor Shot:


Side Shot again in my driveway :


Hood's airbrushing , Had to lighten so forgive it :

 

a lot better

 

Looks Great!!!

 

Looks much better, cant go wrong with those wheels on a thirdgen..

 

Personal taste
i liked your old ones better
and i don't like the skulls
nice car btw

 

Yea I like the old rims better too.
The engine bay looks great!

 

post some more pics with the old ones please

 

Kick *** ride man!

 

I like the car, but why do you still have the A/C compressor on the car? Is that a 4th gen style spoiler? Overall it looks better with the new wheels.

 

i like the z06 wheels a thousand times better. great choice on changing them over.

the wing gets me though it looks good at certain angles but from other angles i dont like it at all. like front the side and from the front angled it looks good but in the shot of the wheel and the back end i dont like it. it definitely makes it unique though. i dont think i have seen another one like it b4.

 

dnt like the skulls either, and i think that the rear spoiler looks like a batmobile i'd prefer the 3rd gen spoiler

 

i donno man..... its still purple.

 

never noticed the ghost flames till now i'm diggin the look. my only complaint is that you'd get rid of those junk flow-tech headers and run something that actually flows.

 

Thanks for all the comments fellas.

the Wifey wanted the c5zo6 chromes on her, thought they'd look better... i agree.. plus photos cant really do the wheels justice..

they are 18x9 up front wearing 265/35/zr18 Nitto NT555's and the back are 18x11 wearing 285/35/zr18 Nitto NT555's as well.



vbMike : thanks for the compliment on the engine bay. That was prep work for the gathering this year, but the carb broke and she didnt make it.

SammyCalderon : Not everyone does, and honestly the photos dont do it justice because i had to lighten it up so much.. You usually can barely even see it unless your looking close to it.

bingo : the AC Compressor is actually blocked off on the back cause I cant make up my mind if I want to keep the AC on the car or not. I did swap the box, but i havent decided either way yet.

Maroon 88 Iroc : Thanks for the compliments on the rims.. The wing is another one of those "it grows on you" or you love it or you hate it things. some people love some hate.. I personally dont think it would look good without my SS hood. I like how it lengthens the car though from the side profile. Ive had the spoiler on the car since 99 and have loved it ever since. Ive seen a few around, but none on a camaro.. The roundess i think is the only odd part about it.. the thirdgens sharp angles sometimes makes it look odd to some folks..

Luisote: I can see your point about the batmobile comment, but thats kind of why i liked it

MrDude_1 : come on man, on the other forum you were all about askin me to ride in my purple car.. why the change now? dont deny your inner purple child! j/k


And sammy as you requested.. here are more photos with the other rims :

with my stock 01 z28 rims :



with my old eagles :






with my 18" polished Aluminum Eagle 077's :





TO everyone who did post up that i didnt address : thanks for the comments they are appreciated!

You have wisdom beyond your years for the flow tech comment. I absolutely HATE them. I will replace them when I get more $...

but its 500.00 for the setup i want. and right now.. I am flaat broke.

The first set looks better to me but I still think the stock iroc wheels looks best on third gens. Wish I could find a good set.

 

you cant order it out of super chevy or from hawks?

-steve

 

i like it both ways, i always thought it looked good with the eagles , but it looks good this way too .

 

I like both sets of rims, id prolly choose the z06s over the eagles though. Car looks beautiful i like all of it. I actually like the spoiler too i think ive seen one other camaro on this site that has it and i liked it on his car too.



One other thing i really like how you shaved all the emblems and smoothed the back bumper...its touches like that really makes your car stand out.

 

I think your the first one to actually notice all that

did you notice i also shaved the following?

front fender turn signals.
Doorhandles & cylinders (duh you probably did, but hey Ill list it anyways)
antennae.

thanks for the compliments.. it means alot from fellow enthusiasts.. much more than from just a joe bob down the skreet.

 

im lovin the color
but i dont really like the flames or the spoiler.
and the wheels look top notch man!

 

love them rims.. cant go wrong with them.. id woull look nice witha hawks 5 inch wing... ur runing 385?? in the rear ??

 

thanks for the compliments on the color and car again guys..

Its got 285's in the rear.. not 385's..

The flames are tribal ghost flames

The color is stock 92 Purple Haze...

thanks again guys!!
-steve

 

for both the sets of wheels i like em both.. i would have done without the skulls too but its look very good none the less ncie job

 

The new wheels are an improvement over the old, but the spoiler looks extremely out of place to me. $.02

 

Car looks great.I like the Zo6 better myself.
I did talk to you at the G10 this past year. I was parked with the C.F.C.C. across from you.


Anybody have pic's of a red TA with black ZO6 wheels?

 

I like both the rims, your old ones and new ones, and I like your car, but I dont like the color of the car and the spoiler is okay but dont care for it to much.

 

I agree

 

Car looks great and the wheels fit perfect.

Any chnace of getting a rear shot showing those 18x11's?

 

I know that you weren't asking for other opinions, but I have to say I'm not a huge fan of your color, rear spoiler, and airbrushing. However, your new wheels are sick! I love my stock 16"s, but if I ever get another set, those will be what I go with! They look GREAT! No offense btw on the criticisms. Eveyone has they're own look. You have difinitley put a lot of $$$ in your ride. I'm sure there are people out there that would think my mods are lame too. I guess we ought to just appreciate our differences.

 

lol yeah sorry 385 would be huge!! so 285 /35?? nittos??

 

I actually did not notice the sidemarkers were shaved, but the door handles and antenna i did. Looks great

Also Eric is this not a picture of ur car...?

 

the Z06's look so much better, solid ride man. A+

 

Looks good, I especially like the 4th gen spoiler. Never seen one on a Camaro before. I hope to see it in person in Columbia.

 

looks killer dude...i like everything uve done to it

 

Looks hot with the Z06's.

 

hey man! yea, i was in my SOM z unfortunately instead of my purple car, but hopefully next year!!


as requested :




its cool, the color is stock, so not everyone likes it.. for some reason I seem to have a nack for getting rare colored camaros. The spoiler and airbrushing is something eitehr you like or dont, so its cool.. thanks for the compliments on the rims.. No offense was took, as i asked for both opinions, LIke I said before, its worth more coming from fellow enthusiasts than just average folks... Yea, ive put waaaaay too much money into it.. but thats life too.. not much you can do about it other than keep dumping it into her!!


yea, its NT555's.. im gonna swap the backs with NT555 R's though.. hopefully so i can get traction.. I still dont get any through 3rd gear..


thanks as it sits right now, Im going to be driving it to the cruise in at the flying saucer on the 30th! Hope to see you there!

[QUOTE=Stevo]I actually did not notice the sidemarkers were shaved, but the door handles and antenna i did. Looks great

It is, but that's a thirdgen spoiler.

The fourthgen spoiler looks okay from the rear, but weird from the side as it hangs over the end of the car about 5-6 inches. $.02

 

its cool. I choose the hang over the end for that reason. I like the hang over personally, it seems to stretch the car visually, to the point of making the car look low and sleeker to me. I do respect your opinion though!

Thanks again to everyone who posted up.. positive or constructive criticism.. it is appreciated.
