Default Just put the new wheels on!

So I finally got the new 18" wheels/tires on with my extra modded touches done to them! First the rotors were painted black and the calipers were re-painted red, then the wheels went on. I LOVE the look of these wheels and knew I wanted them from the first time I saw them. They are a great compliment to my cars stripes and all around look. The profile view was so plain and boring before.....not anymore!!!!! (Sorry about bad pics, car is dirty and sun was extremely bright) Next step, lowering springs........

Very well played.... your main racing stripes outlined in red and the wheels with the same touch, it's sic!! Love what you have done. They new wheels really do remarkably well in positively altering your Monte's curb appeal. Your whole Monte is absolutley gorgeous, nice custom painted accents and such. You hit a HOME RUN!!!

Thanks! Exterior is just about done except for lowering and have to put headlight covers back on and roof rails need to go on. Then this winter will be work under hood and interior customizing. Someone photoshopped what my car would look like lowered(see below), I think it looks awesome!!!

Thanks `Lisa for posting/sharing.

I think you have inspired some of our member's to get creative with their rim's
* Did you lower your S.S. ? The first pic has the large gap & the 2nd one looks lowered ?

Thanks `Lisa for your reply & yes it looks Super lowered 4-Sure...

Like you, I don't like that large wheel gap with updated larger tires & rims. I hope you find a great set `up to get it the way that you want it to `be... Please keep us updated & again thanks for sharing

I will. Looking for 1" front and 1 1/2" back for the lowering springs but can't seem to find them.
