Looks fantastic! Not a fan of running spacers though.

Its a japanese style wheel - which usually looks quite awkward on an American car. So I was unsure about the look of the SSRs on the SS. But it came out pretty good.

Center caps are added weight. I've got l/w lugs coming in. Every ounce of unsprung counts - x's 7!

Widening of the front track is known to improve the handling.

Stockers weigh a little less than 2lbs more than the SSRs. And the SSRs weigh 18.5lbs.

The stockers are superlight for factory wheels.

careful, i had 20% in front and got grabbed on the highway... BS, they made me take them off and show the court they were off to waive any fines and penalties, if i kept them on the fine was well over $250 or so, i just bought new precut tints for only $12 and i'm going to try my luck, ive worked with tint before but the results weren't good.... lol if i screw up it/s only $12 instaed of paying the $100+ at the shop
