Looks like Snypers it is

Thanks for voting everyone and I encourage newbies
to this post to continue voting.
Anyone have recommendations of Tires? I want a
good brand but I don't want to spend an arm and
a leg. Just want some quality. I don't drive in snow. The
worst I drive in is Rain. What size tires do you recommend
also?

I am going with 17x9's all the way around. I have heard there
is NO RUBBING. If there is please let me know.

Thanks!

I voted for the ROH Snypers as well. As for tires, I like my new Dunlop SP5000's and so do a lot more people on tirerack.com. I think it got like an 8.3 overall, and I'm very satisfied with them. 4 of them 245/50/16s plus labor was $615 from NTB for me.

Oh Cmon man, gotta love those 87ish IROC rims theyre awesome, however you might look like an IROC-wanna-be with them on. But I don't like the other rims, my favorite aftermarket rims are zenetti milanos, if someone could get a pic of those and even photoshop it on the grey RS, that would be hot.
--Nice RS by the way, I like it.

Can anyone photoshop 17" Chrome Iroc Rims
in? I have always liked those rims. I always
see the advertisement in Chevy High performance
magazine and they look awesome but in pictures
for some reason they have looked Cheesy...

Anyone want to give I a try?

Thanks again guys
