Got the new wheels on!
 
10 Attachment(s)
Well the suspense of waiting got to me...so I went ahead after I got home from church today and put the wheels on. I am really happy with the choice on these because they're diff from most wheels I've seen on Camaros, resemble CCWs, and have that big lip. These are of course some more front yard pics lol because the car isn't cleaned up and it was Sunday (plus the hood isn't back on yet and it was about to rain). Hopefully my hood will go back on tomorrow (today in a few hours cause it's late) and I can clean it up, do a nice detail, wax, and then do a shoot somewhere. Anyway, I'm gonna get the calipers powdercoated when I get time, and suspension mods are on the to-do in the future. Thanks to Grant again for the chop (really close to the pics I took IMO lol) it was great. Here they are, let me know what ya think.

sick, looks awesome!

Thanks man! Lol now I've gotta find someone to buy the chrome stockers cause my mom doesn't want them cluttering up the garage.

98CamaroZ28 07-16-2007 03:09 AM

how big are the chrome stockers, 17's? and how much would you be willing to sell them for?

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:15 AM

No...they're identical to your wheels except they're chrome. Um...IDK really? They have the Futura Ultra Zs on em right now, the fronts still have pretty good tread left and the rears are a little less. I really don't even know what to ask for them to be honest...what do ya think?

98CamaroZ28 07-16-2007 03:16 AM

are they 16's or 17's and I would offer 500$ obo shipped if I was going to sell them. :D

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:23 AM

16x8s just like what's on your car, but chrome. Yea if I ship them it would prob be around that because shipping is so expensive. I was gonna buy some Cragar SS 17s before I got these wheels, but shipping was like $40 per wheel plus extra for shipping the lugs. Local pickup I'm thinkin around $300.

98CamaroZ28 07-16-2007 03:29 AM

yea, im going to save up for 17's, man i do like the chrome rims.

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:32 AM

Yea some cars look really with black rims, black w/ chrome lip, or powdercoated gunmetal, but I just felt like chrome looked the best on my color. I kinda felt like black or something else would just be too busy on there. I also really liked that big lip, it's what really grabbed my attention. Plus I got some pretty good tires too...BFG KDWs.

98CamaroZ28 07-16-2007 03:33 AM

nice, yea im just hope I can land a deal on 17x9's all the way around.

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:38 AM

That's exactly what I was looking for...and these are 17x9.5s all the way around and I think they have like a 56mm offset. You should be able to...look on LS1tech, that's where I got mine and got a really good deal locally w/ a really nice seller. He had a really bada$$ T/A. It was sweet, cammed, GMMG exhaust, LTs, and his engine could've been eaten off of.

98CamaroZ28 07-16-2007 03:42 AM

I feel kinda dumb, but what is the offset and what does it do?

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:48 AM

To be honest I'm not really sure myself...I THINK that it has something to do w/ the lip on the wheels and I know it can mess up oversized brakes and stuff, but to answer your question hmmm....?

A-RoN'sZ 07-16-2007 03:49 AM

BTW don't feel dumb, I'm sure there are more that aren't sure either...I would kinda like to know myself.
