Seriously, very nice car. Though I could go for some more rim action, but nothing like a deuce deuce.

Thanks for the props.

Giant heavy wheels are teh suck, I swapped the original RS 20's for these light IROC-Z styled stock 18's. I saved 49 lbs of unsprung weight all around, and the car is definitely lighter on its feet, and it rides better.
22's!? No thanks. :)

I like this shot too...

Can you swap the brakes for the Brembo setup? They're the same as the ones on my car and I love them.

I'm pretty sure I can swap to the Brembo setup with all the parts, but the V6 outbrakes the SS even without them. :wink: At least once, haha. It's just my daily driver and I like the lower unsprung weight, so I'll leave them as is.

Canada is in America, too. If I was referring to us only, I'd say "God bless the United States of Mexico, Made in China."
(I couldn't resist either) :wink:
The LLT's are made and assembled in the US from what I understand (as well as many other parts), that counts for a lot to me.

A guy from Camaro5 is driving down from Boston tomorrow to trade my 20's for his set of 18's plus $400, I'm going to put some sticky Nittos on those and keep the all-season set that's currently on the car for the winter.

Just a possibility, noone's gonna put a gun to anyone's head to get this admittedly eye-popping kit onto your beautiful machine. Besides, then you'd need wheel spacers or different wheels. Still, Michelin does make a 345/35R19 that'd fill the rear nicely with this widening.

Oh don't worry, I'm not offended. To each his own? :D
I'm working on "fixing" that car. ;)

Cinci, all I see in your post is the word "Image".

This is much more my style... 8)

Those ^^^ are the same wheels I took off of my car, but those are polished and mine are "Midnight Silver", which turns out to be more like "Daylight Silver", in other words, they look almost identical.
If I wanted a show car instead of a fun, legal daily driver, I'd do those exact mods and call it a day. It doesn't get much sexier than that.
