Just got mine put on today I really like them. They should look better once i get my car painted blue 


Also i do not recommend getting spacers/adapters off ebay i had to use a dremel and shave about 1/16 of an inch al the way around the inside about 1/4 inch deep so they would slide all the way on my studs :/

Both cars are shown with LS1 front brakes and an LS1 12-bolt rear. 1.7" spacers in the front, none in the rear. Go skulte if you want quality adapters/spacers.
Wheels are 4th gen WS6 polished aluminum. 17x9.5 with BFG KDWS tires. Love em.

This is my 85. Same color as the car above. I actually have some polished ws6 rims to put on it as well and wasn't sure if it would look right. I think it will look just fine.

Haha..^^^^..that looks familiar! You can see in my last two pictures how I started to remove that 80's fade sticker on the side between the GFX and the body panels. I think you car looks so much better without them. I gotta get off my lazy butt this spring and get the rest of it off...
I was up in the air about those wheels on the blue car. But once I put them on, I realized it wasnt bad at all. Those wheels go on just about any car in my opinion.

I have an Eibach Pro-Kit on the car. I love the way it sits and handles. Came out perfect to me. Im still using the front and rear factory isolators as well.
