New Shoes!!
« on: February 15, 2009, 01:55:56 pm »
Amazing how much difference some rims and tires make!  The rims are 15X8.5 I got off Craigslist for 100 bucks and sprayed with some duplicolor rim paint.  The tires are 275/60/15 all around.

I have always had a soft spot for those rims. My first Camaro had them on it when I got it. Not my first choice if I were to buy new but they still have that nostalgic look to them. Looks good.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Nice!  On a different subject though, looking at your front clip replacement, I'd suggest putting the original driver's side fender back on as it looks to be in better shape than the new one.  The new passenger side fender looks good though.

it looks good from the pic angle, if you saw it up close though it would be a different story. The PO hit a pole hard enough to push the hood over and tweaked the top of the drivers fender out and ripped it open. looks nice from a distance though!
