I love convertibles with ZR1's


Those do look pretty good although I might have gone with the 17's like the ones on my girlfriend's IROC-Z. I didn't know AR made the replicas though, she bought hers from a company on eBay.

Re: New wheels PICS!!

these wheels are just temp. til i get some other stuff fixed on the car first. I plan on selling these after i get most of the work done to the car and painted. I really wanted a set of 18x10.5 Z06's all around in chrome. but didnt want to mess with spacers yet til i get a 4th gen rear end. then i'll only need them on the front. tring to find some sportlines too.

Re: New wheels PICS!!

You have way too many Camaro's, I think you should sell the blue RS convertible to my uncle who is looking for a 3rd gen Camaro convertible,

Re: New wheels PICS!!

i started installing the sportlines last week and still havent finnished. the front ball joints are holding me up, or they were, i havent touched the car in a few days. might just take it in and have them do the ball joints and put the front springs in for me. rather not spend a fortune on it tho. i do this stuff myself all the time, but these springs are being a bitch to get out.
