Love the wheels! Don't care much for the little vents on the sides behind the windows.....they just look out of place there. Body kit is one of the more decent looking ones but I've always loved the stock ground effects on these cars. Looks like a pretty rust free car too.

the wheels are a bmw fitment with a offset of 15 i think, those vents have bin removed now i kinda didn't like them much either. there is not much rust at all. just a few patches under the door sills. all bin repaired now tho. i am hoping to do a lsx swap in the near future if i can find a resonable priced engine and gearbox combi

I have heard that BMW wheels were be a pretty good fit on a camaro or firebird, which is good because they have some nice wheels for them! And it should fly with an LS1. Can't wait until mines in. It's a great engine and transmission combo, and very easy to make power with.
