pics of my new vette wheels :)
http://www.fbodytuning.com/gallery/wheels
Hey guys, finally managed to get some pics of my new vette wheels!!
Unfortunately, my camera is super old so the pics didn't come out real well
(6 year old Kodak DC 210, bloody thing should be put in a museum for digital cameras, hehe)
BUT!! They look sooo nice to me!
They're the 97-99 fat spoked 'vette wheels powder coated a killer gun metal grey! Standard vette setup, 17x8.5 w/ 255/45zr17 up front, and 18x9.5 w/ 295/35zr18 out back... (well, maybe the 295's arn't so standard? not sure, hehe)
I had to dremel the rears a little to make them fit on over the hubs, but nothing major at all. I also have 1/4 inch (or around there, they came with the wheels and look about that wide) spacers on the rear tires to prevent rubbing. I had them mounted without first, but was noticing rubbing on hard acceleration during cornering
I know the car would look better lowered, but i doubt I'll ever do it... more important things for now... Also, no insurance on the car, as you'll notice the lack of a plate, so I could only get pics of the car in the driveway and garage...
With a better camera, and some nice background scenery in a few months, i'll get some much better pics!
Enjoy! I know i do
Jeff

Thx for replies guys!
I'm actually not sure on how much it cost to get the powder coated, they were like that when I got 'em... I can try to find out tho and let you know!
Now i just need to lower it a little maybe an inch or so, hehe
Altho i swore I'd never lower it
