me and my uncles car

couple pictures of me and my uncles iroc's. both with 17x8" iroc's his are polished and painted red to match the car. he has had his longer than mine. alot of the work i did on my car was in reference to his but with my own spin and idea's and taste's. but well heres the pics let me know what you think. sorry for the quality he sent them to me in an e-mail and i guess the way they were uploaded killed the quality.

Awesome looking cars! I usually hate red rims but for some reason those look real good! I would love to see some higher quality pictures.

Re: me and my uncles car

His rims would look 10x better black. I had the idea for my rims being polished out but just having the area between the spokes black. Nice car though!

Re: me and my uncles car

Damn dude, your family is full of gorgeous cars.

My uncle had at least a dozen camaros at different times, and even a Grand National at one point (he actually kept that one a long time), but no one in my family has anything cool these days.


BTW, nice DARE shirt.

Re: me and my uncles car

Man those are awesome cars. I have yours as my desktop at home. I do like the painted wheels. I wonder what they would look like with the dark gunmetal gray on them to look like the original Iroc wheels? I bet sweet!! Keep sending the pics man, when you're blessed with an abundance of cars around you it's great to share the wealth!!!

his wheels came on his car when he bought it... he bought it pretty much just like it is. he added the cowl hood though.

idk what springs he has but i have intrax 2" springs and they are pretty even.

no new times yet. im going tomarrow. i ran a 14.02 @ 101. im going to pull some weight off the car and use the 28x10.5 slicks i got. also im going to be testing out the nitrous. i only have 50 horsepower jets in it for tomarow night so ill do some testing and make sure everything is good.so ill be happy if it runs a 12 but im thinking it will run lower 13's on just the 50 shot.

preciate it man! i am a fan of the painted wheels but i wouldnt want them any other color than black. the red really does look good on his car but i think it would look better black. ill hopefully get some better pics next time i go up there.

like i said prevously idk what his are but mine has intrax 2" drop springs. i have 245/45/17's all around he is running staggard 255/35/17 fronts and 275/30/17 rears. i think im not possitive on those numbers though.
