Chevy4life1985 09-23-2005, 01:47 PM Buy those suckers and get a black paint job. Make that sucker a night rider LOL.

Obviously it's a different car but I don't think they fit the vehicle. There just isn't any wheel there. I think the "spokes" need to be thicker or something. Just my .02 worth. bubbydigital36 09-23-2005, 04:00 PM ehh i love those rims but i dont know how they would look on that color, but if u like it, so will i 01Cavy 09-23-2005, 06:15 PM Good looking rims...of course I'm biased to that style, but I don't think they match the blue. 89Sunbird 09-23-2005, 08:14 PM If you do, gimme your old rims, Tim! :D 01Cavy 09-23-2005, 11:53 PM Just out of curiosity Kustmace...what suspension combination do you have? i3o2Matt 09-24-2005, 02:14 AM LOL i just realized those rims are 4lug ahahah good point...lol Classicrocjunkie 09-24-2005, 02:24 AM Go with 18"s, you'll be kicken yourself down the road. I am myself. KustmAce 09-24-2005, 04:46 AM Thanks for the replies guys! I changed my mind, and I found some nice 18's for about 600. http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/20061321/Images/SILVER1.JPG Your right, I think silver works better on my car. And 01Cavy, Ive got Tenzo R springs on stock everything else. 89Sunbird 09-24-2005, 05:41 AM And I get the old ones, right? :D KustmAce 09-24-2005, 01:30 PM And I get the old ones, right? :D Maybe...I need winter wheels :iceslolan faroutguy 09-24-2005, 02:31 PM kustm where do you buy your rims? and im assuming that price is american? bh04 09-25-2005, 12:43 PM ...Your right, I think silver works better on my car. And 01Cavy, Ive got Tenzo R springs on stock everything else. Would you reccommend that setup to others or are you wishing you had new shocks/struts? Just the springs. KustmAce 09-25-2005, 02:29 PM faroutguy- Ive been looking all these up on ebay. Im gonna meet up with one ofmy old bosses tommorrow who has some good connections in the wheel/tire industry and see what we can find. bh04- I really like my setup. Yea, I would love to have some yellows or reds, but they arent worth 600 bucks to me. Ridea a little bumpy, but its lowered, its not supposed to be smooth. Overall, I definately recommend. bh04 09-25-2005, 02:40 PM I really want some lowering springs. I will get new shocks/struts. I'd like to buy some springs and put them on and see how the ride is before I buy new shocks/struts. Would I be fine driving on my lowering springs for how long? I Drive a 2000. I plan on getting the Pro Kit after researching and thinking about it really hard. KustmAce 09-26-2005, 03:17 AM I really want some lowering springs. I will get new shocks/struts.

Just go easy on em, no hard cornering, etc. They will blow eventually though. Chevy4life1985 09-26-2005, 08:43 AM Thanks for the replies guys!

ThePyro 09-26-2005, 06:12 PM The second rims are a perfect match...It also helps that they've got 5 lugs. KustmAce 09-26-2005, 08:14 PM How much of a drop did you get out of the tenzos? Bout 2 inches. And thanks Pyro! Viper_Storm 09-29-2005, 02:13 PM Thanks for the replies guys!
