ok ok, NOW it's a sleeper!!!
check it out guys! my buddy sean (ssean92) is letting me borrow the 91-92 z28 wheels from his car since he's cruisin' the drag radials for now. i think it looks pretty good. went ahead and added something extra when the car was resprayed last weekend too...think you can catch it?

Looks awsome, I'm guessing it's the spoiler? since I dont see it on your sig. But yeah seeing your car might just keep me from adding ground effects on my car, would be much cheaper...

which other wheels? the rodlites? i think it looks absolutely sick with the rodlites, but it REALLY takes away from the sleeper look...and that's what this car is (kinda...) but the rodlites are my track wheels, and they will be on the car on a regular basis.

motor: crack SOMEwhere in #4 combustion chamber...cylinder head for sure...had water going into that hole. used some barsleak block sealer and the stuff actually worked! my racing season is over cause i don't want to risk hurting her, but you know...you take it as it comes...also, i managed to swipe #8 exhaust lobe...grrr...no biggie, i slapped a new cam in her yesterday and broke it in today. went from an AWESOME crane powermax solid lifter 238*/248* .480"/.500" 114lsa camshaft to a comp magnum 280hydrualic, which is 230*/230* .480"/.480" 110lsa...still pulls hard and is actually more streetable, but i miss that HARD top end pull...oh well...

Looks really good man!! I mounted my 91 Z wheels on my 85 sc and it looked awsome. I suddenly started getting coments on how nice my car was (when it wasn't). The fact that your car is different is what really makes it cool, and it will still be cool no matter who's wheels you are running.
Keep up the good work!

the car looks good as usual matt but im going to have to disagree with everyone else. while the 91-92 Z wheels look good the irocs looked like 5x better in my opinion. and again while the spoiler looks ok i really liked it alot better w/ o it like i said your car was the only camaro i liked without a spoiler.
but i definitely like the rodlights though, i mean ya they are kinda old shcool but they look very nice with your car.

Looks much than with the other stock 5 spokes. I think it looks even better than the rodlites, I perfer the look or prostars or even draglites (on a white car) for a strip wheel.
Still think it would look better with black door handles

What made you decide to go with a spoiler. You were so set on the plain look! I can just see it, the next thread you're gonna have GFX!!

i just never was happy with the car from a few different angles with the no spoiler look...so...it went back on. sorry, no gfx for this particular car though.
i do, however, have a set just like these that i'll be doing up for the car. just gotta get some cash up for tires.

Wow, this is only the 2130972142134830th time you changed wheels! j/k. It looks great! Then again, all the wheels you put on your car look great. Each time it gives itself a slightly new look. Keep it up man, I LIKE IT!

HOly old thread..
Try some 3M double sided tape for molding. Put it on the outside of the flexible nibs so they stick to the wheels.

Car looks killer. The spoiler and wheels give the car a totally different look than before.
