That's one of the things I miss about having a white car.  It hides those scratches and swirls very well.  Whiteman, are you going to try and make it out to Lone Star Flight Museum for the group photos with thier planes?  John's (A&P at LSFM and '01 SS owner) already promised me a solo photo shoot, C-HOG with their Corsair (insert drooling smilie here).  Man, I can hardly wait...

You will NEED to post those pics.  :rock

I'd bet around $1000.

Though... with a bit of patience, maybe $800. It's amazing what people are selling factory wheels for these days as they rush out to spend $5000 on new tires and wheels.

[Lumbergh]Ummmmm, yeah, ok.[/Lumbergh]

Wheels were $800 and tires were close to $700 with tax and shipping.  Compared to what some people get that's dirt, dirt cheap.  My wheels aren't O.E.M. as I wanted the offsets to be what would fit and F-Body without spacers and I didn't want staggered wheel diameters, I wanted them all the same.  There are wheels alone without tires that run well over $3000 (Fikse's anyone?).

I'll post up the photos from the LSFM after we get them done, should be some time this summer if all goes well.

since my car is about paid off i was looking at some new wheels and for some reason i thought looking at some HRE's would be a great idea, $1,500 a wheel. I think I see a set of black FM10's in the future.

You should really raise the rear a few inches. That'll make like your car is going downhill all the time increasing acceleration and top speed. Really. (heh)

Nice wheels, better than the old ones.

Had two Camaros in my lifetime.. a White '68 350 w/ a thin baby blue pinstripe down the quarter panels and a Forrest Green '69 Camaro Coupe 327 with White deck Stripes 2 on the hood and one on the trunk. Blew up the 327 in 2 years and replaced it with a '78 LT1 from a Vette.

So bite me.
