    New wheels finaly on!

    Pardon the typo in the title.

    Finally got these dumb things balanced and on the car, far too much time effort and money has been invested, but I am really happy with how they came out.



    if only i could steal the drive train out of the gto :(


    I think I need coils so I can get a little lower

    A little lower would definitely help out. What are the specs on those things? I like the color.

        thanks! Id love to be like 1/2 to an inch lower. Im running h&r race and bilsteins I guess I could take out the spring pads but metal on metal never seemed like a good idea. The wheels are 16x8 et10ish they just clear the brakes int he front I had to slightly grind the caliper carrier. Running about -2 in the front and -2.3 camber in the back.

          Would look better if the wheels wasnt a "look at me color". Reminds me of something a VW boy would do. But what ever floats your boat. If we all liked the same thing, it would be a boring world.

                  I love the wheels, don't necessarily hate the color. I think if the drop were more aggressive you could pull it off. BTW, removing spring pads should be perfectly fine. On my first suspension set up, I ran my eibach pro kit for five years with no pads anywhere and never had any issues whatsoever.

                      Yikes, not a fan at all. The gigantic chrome centercaps combined with the very odd color just doesn't really do it for me.

                      They look like they came from a car that was themed to go with those wheels, they look very out of place.

                              Not a fan of the color...at all. It's a shame too cause it's a nice car. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
