After some grinding on the callipers, I got the new wheels on. I also put in a new adj. panhard, lower control arms, and relocation brackets. New torque arm will go in with the trans this week. I have to do some tweaking, but I'm happy with it so far.

They're Centerline Autodrags, 15x3.5 and 15x10. Rear's are MT ET Streets, 26 in tall and 11.5 wide.

And pay no attention to my yellow garage......I just bought the place 3 months ago and havent gotten around to painting it yet!

other than the rice looking upturned exhaust tips as the only thing I don't like, I think that entire setup looks sick as hell.

Calm down, the tips are comming off. I tried it, and don't like it either. If you look, you can even see that the left tip is crooked anyway! I'm going to have my relocation brackets welded in (they're bolt in's) and I'll have the shop put some new tips on at the same time. There are so many "cookie cutter" F body's out there, and I tried something different. I'm thinking about going with some Corsa tips.

I would do the Corsa for an exhuast next time around but there is a set of Corsa knockoff tips on ebay someplace. They are just a tad smaller but still look good. Car looks good though. How long are you stationed in SC that you bought a house?

I've seen those tips on ebay, and are the ones I'll go with if I decide on the Corsa style. I'm not sure yet. Still looking.

I'm here until at least Aug 09. These places used to be apartments, and some guy bught all of them, renovated them and sold them as "condo's". It's 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath with a garage with new floors and all that stuff. I couldn't go wrong, my morgage is $577 a month! My next deployment I'll start renting it out, and buy a 2nd house when I get back. It's more of an investment more than a place to settle in. I'm 3 miles from base, and there's always a market for it to be rented.

Hey man, what is your problem? I've read everyone of your posts and all you have ever done is bash people. All the thread starter did was show everyone his wheels. It's fine that you don't like them or even post that you don't like them, but to call a grown man names without even knowing who he is. Your just asking to get booted off the forum.
