I hear balletsteins struts are good as the OEM...22s are fine, just make sure you have good struts and tie end rods, and then also dodge holes. My buddy just bent one of his rims from a hole so he had to put his stocks back on, and he was rolling 22s. I may roll 22s come spring/summer, im debating on it but around that time, ill be moving out with my girl, so my funds will probably be taken up.

The picture of my MC on 20s is in the White MC thread, I believe around the 2nd to last page...Its white with black rims. Make sure you paint your brake calibers, rims without them painted looks ugly imo. A picture of my black SS is in the black monte carlo thread as well, thats my new baby.

Great advice! I will be making sure to do that when i get my Rims and paint job early next year.

BTW, I tried to find pics of your car and could not locate the post you were talking about

At 5.8k you could put a brand new tranny in it, replace all 4 hubs and sell it for a profit. Haha. They go for 15k around here. Its just what is the problem with the track control.

I like the Black on Black! But If I had to choose I would pick the white with black Rims... Seems to have more Character!

I like the Red/Yellow painted under the wheels.. Is that what you mean when you say get my Brake Calibers painted?

Tadcaster has the black housing projector headlights. Check em out. Just search the forum for him. Or look at my profile I have a recent comment from him.
