Anyone got photos of 17's from the rear?

I can't decide if to go 16's or 17's. I know how the 16's look from the rear, but I tried a search and can't find any shots of some 17's from the rear.

Can anyone help me out? Tires/suspension is next for me...

Rick,

Can you e-mail me? I'm in Houston as well, and I'd like a few referrals in town. And, I'd like to see your rims/tires combo...

Here's mine after my drive back from Ohio:



If that works - it's my first pic post!

I know the rims are centerlines, unknown what type I can check on that for ya and I'll have to check the size too, I know theyre 17" 40 series tires, I'll see if the paperwork shows how much they were because they were on the car when he bought it but I have a few more pics

Hey, whats wrong with my exhaust tips? Those are 4th gen WS6 tips, came with the cat-back I bought off of my friends 4th gen T/A.
I would get my car painted one color as well, but I am not made of money.

That is a 91-92 Camaro Hi-Rise Spoiler. Jegs sells it for $169 or so.

Webshots, they are not a very stable image hosting site. Somtimes you can post a pic here with them sometimes you can't. It could be you Internet explorer not loading the picture right off the bat. Try to close then open the explorer or just refresh the page and that alot of the time helps when you are getting the red x.


>other tips,
Cant get into a sites=clear cache under tools intenet options
Cant browse the internet=unplug your modem for 1 1/2 minutes and restart the pc.

And here is the interior,
