New Wheels on the Formula. A little different

Recommended Posts

Well I got an offer for my polished ZR-1 that I couldn't pass up yesterday and I decided to go for it. Traded my Zr-1's and my LS1 Intake for a set of 98 C5 black powder coated wheels and an LS6 Intake. At first I didn't think the wheels would look as good but now I think it looks better than it did before. It offsets my NBM color nicely. Now all I need to do is Shade my tail lights and side markers, and paint my calipers.

 

So tell me what you think. Sorry for the pic quality. It was raining and the rims are a little dirty from the drive home

Liked the ZR1s better. Did you give up on selling it?

 

Yeah I took it out for a drive the other day and came to the conclusion that it's just too much fun to sell.

 

What did it look like? I hava never been a fan of dark rims, but to each their own.

 

The big benefit is these are much easier to clean. Plus the ZR-1's had alot of curb rash from the previous owner. And of course I got an LS6 intake out of the deal

I may. It'll be a little while though before I can afford it. I mainly did the swap because I got the LS6 intake out of it. It sucks because it was raining all day and I couldn't take the car out for a hard run after I finished up.

honestly man i loved the way your car looked...was different from most fbodys but these new rims suck mabey due to the dark color on you dark blue car....

 

glad you kept it now when we gonna race !!!???!?!?!

 

 

I know alot of people probally won't like them as much but the other wheel had curb rash pretty bad and I was really wanting an LS6 intake so it was a pretty even trade from my point of view.

If you're happy with the trade then awesome, but IMO the chrome ZR1's looked a million times better. Those rims looked so perfect on your car! I don't like C5 wagon wheels at all, nor am I a fan of black rims on NBM.

 

Maybe with dark window tint and taillight covers they will look better

Wagon wheels look better on an F-body than a C5, but never look good in black. I have a set of chrome ones on my Formula, and they look pretty good.

 

If you decide you can't look at these wheels any more, I have a set of 17x9.5" Konig Flights that I will sell for a decent price. :)
