I dont like how small rims look when the spokes end way before the lip...the opposie works too to make rims look big (the ss for example)


And DOC the ADRM-Sport-HyperBlackWheels look best to me ...not to mention the cash you save ...(compromise weight most likely)

sweet, nice place you got there too. sux to have a dirt driveway. no matter how clean you still have to drive down it to go anywhere.

I was thinking the ADRM too, I like the ones CHEVYPOWERED put on though. With him being in New Mexico and me being in Virginia its still too close to copy...:lol:

They do look alot smaller. I like the offset but the stock wheels look better in my opinion. Im sure your's weigh less though! Im having my wheel's made now i'll post pics when I get them. Im going with 19's.

Very clean ride though keep up the good work!

8" wide wheel? What size tires did you put on?

Chevypowered

Yeah the dirt drive way sucks but it is compacted well so theres not too much dust. These weigh about 25.5 Lbs. and the stock ones weigh 24 Lbs. I have the stock rubber on now since i don't have money to get some wide ones. I'm just going to run the piss out of the stockers since they suck anyways. I think if i powder coat the center they will look bigger, not sure if i'm going to though.

Ya I remember you talking about them on another thread, look good but small.

I bet if i lowered the car they wouldn't look so small. I also thing it's because they get smaller in the center, if i powder coat them that should fix that as well. The look big from the side but when i look at them from an angle they do look much smaller

I want to try to fit some 245/40's in the spring, they should fit in there

www.1010tires.com

I double checked and that site thinks the wheels are 5x100 vs 5x110. They won't fit. :cussing:

I wonder if they would be interested in making some in chrome with the bolt pattern we need? also what offset would we need for the SS?

there altight, but they look too heavy, regardles if they are light or not. they look better suited on a gto or mustang. i would have gone with a darker paint like steel gray. but props on aftermarket.
also whats up with the cone in the center?

Chevypowered
12-17-2005, 09:09 AM
yeah that cone does stick out pretty good. I think i will get these powder coated come spring. The offset is +40, ours is 42. Thanks everyone
