Thanks, waiting on some 3mm spacers to fit the front center caps.

[grove rat]

the new front end is waaaay better, nice ride

[Sgt Beavis]

Those wheels look great.

[CRASH]

Maybe it's just me, but the tires look too big in the front. Almost like it needs a 40 series. The car looks good though, for sure !

Wheels look great! I have the same set up in 20's and the DWS tires on my SS.

Tint will be sooner than later, can't survive summer without it...

The wheel setup is a little more function over form. Really I think these cars look best with 19's, but this setup saved me nearly 9# per corner vs. the factory brembo wheels. The stock tires are 27.2" and I didn't want to lose diameter going to a 40 series. It is a lot of sidewall, but I like it, it rides really nice and is starting to go around a corner pretty well

[LS1Goat]

looks good to me.

I dig the wheel/tire combo, it's almost rare to see a car with an appropriate amount of sidewall these days.
