    X2 - his sig only shows the front guys. Making the 19s fit on the back is going to be a major PITA. Spacers are expensive and with 2" ones youll really be stressing the studs.

    Nothing wrong with rocking salad shooters for a while, keep the sleeper effect. Id sell the wheels and tires for whatever you can get out of them. If they were all 18s... they'd be on my car already

        i'd honestly just sell them and put it into performance.. the shooters give you the sleeper affect and they weigh a hell of a lot less than those c6s.

          Good work, now I would expect he is going to low-ball you. That is where you say "gee I was really looking for $____ (pad it up because he is going to counter lower probably). Go back and fourth until you can agree on a price that you are happy with.

          KEEP IN MIND, you can always walk away from the deal!

                I'm biased because I'd go with show first. BUT - that said, I'd sell what you have and buy a cheaper set of rims that will work on your car without the expensive spacers. Then take the left over money and save it for the go fast parts. Go fast parts are only fun 15% of the time that you're driving your car - you can't be pedal to the metal every second you're driving. I've always said it - I'd rather my car look good and be slow than be fast and look like shit... you have to stop at lights sometime and you have to park eventually.

                    good luck on the sales, me personally I would hate to pull the tires off the rims and part the stuff out, but I never have good luck with it..

                        IMO - salad shooters dont look like "shit."

                        No they dont get a lot of attention, but they arent bad. Just please dont paint them black .... ugh

                          I would be perfectly fine with driving a primer-grey 1st gen. with a 500hp 350 under the hood.
                          But it seems like the best option is to sell the C6's only if you can get decent money for them and split it between a cheaper set of wheels and go-fast parts. IMO, how often do you get to see your wheels when you're driving around anyways? And people aren't going to steal a cam and heads. Well, maybe but ok, you get the point.

                            I thought it was funny but he hasn't responded after that so he must not want them.

                            I'm not but im modding the center caps to be flat and painting them silver. But yea i painted the extra salads that are on the blazer black and they look sexy on the blaze but i don't think they would look good on the Camaro.

                            I want to sell them bad but no one has money to spend or they want an awesome deal so im going to just get spacers and run them for a while then sell them as a bolt on kit to an f-body in the spring. like i have enough money to do gears, stall, headers, and shift kit for the time being then ill just have to put cam on hold a little longer but hopefully before the year is out!
