patrick i wish,no but that is my goal .i just love the pro street look and i know it old hat ond not what a vette is all about but i cant get it out my system, am just an old guy who cant get rid of the drag racing heratige.:thumbsup:
Mike i just sent you a message re your old wheels.
i was just going through some old photos from the vet show in cannington and found your car. nice car sure will look good with 17's
where are you based
thanks dan ,still undecided -the big scoop or the little scoop. heading towards the big one so far plus when i do a big block i will need the extra room.:thumbsup:
What style wheels did you go with? Also I like the smaller scoop if you could close the front opening on it. A Stealth Ram is my next mod. How do you like yours? What else is done to your motor?
hi raid, i bought the small scoop for the opening to force cold air in and out my hood vents when i get those. it s from one of our local cars and you can get them with out the opening.so far all i have done is the stealth ram and the usual stuff we all do soon as we get a vette. am booked in for long tube headers twin pipes and magnaflows next week. got some 3:73 gears to go in and some nitrous is next on the list. thats all i am doing with this engine as i want to go b/b in a year or two.the wheels are from a local wheel company(copy of the pro star wheel) but i had them redisign it to smooth the face.tried to attach a copy but would'nt go youll have to wait for the snap shot :thumbsup:
sorry guys meant to post last tuesday nite but forgot, got sidetracked.will post daylite pics this weekend,promise. what do you think of these check my photos:thumbsup:
<EDIT-Click pic for larger version. More pics in the gallery
:surprised now that is the exact style wheels i have been looking for and can't find anywhere. they look awsome!!!!:thumbsup: :cheers: how can i get a set of those in 11-12 in wides in the rear and 4-6 in for the front. i like the pro street drag look also.
GS977 hi. thanks for the comps. on my wheels. Look if you are serious about geting some of these wheels i could arrange things thru the guy i deal with. Unfortunatley i am in australia and thats where they come from.
I got 17x11 &17x9.5 which cost me $3400 just for the wheels, no tyres so with the cost of shipping ??????. I looked for over a year both in oz and u.s to find something unique, plus this guy measures everything to get the right offset and max front space on the wheel.
