nice.....however instead of buying new wheels, you need to install new wheel studs fella

hahahaha

Wheel studs showed up today so starting to get things ready for installation!

Cleaned up a-arms, poly bushings, spohn ball joint:

Can't do it! After the M&G I realized how quiet my car really is...well, not as quiet as your car

[wizarrd]

what kind of exhaust is that

[jetice]

That my friend, is the holy grail of f-body exhaust. The GMMG Chambered Exhaust system

I purchased it from GMMG in 05 or 06, sold it to James(WMCCJames) a couple years ago and bought it back a few weeks ago.

What size rims are those and what did they come off of... I really like the look of them.

And can you post a video of the new exhaust?

17x9.5 with 275/40-17s all around. The rims are American Racing Torque Thrust 2 Classics, custom offset. The style is CL205, they come with a light grey center (like my old car below in my signature) but I painted the new ones black.

I'll see if I can get a video of the exhaust tomorrow - it's just a stock L98 with factory manifolds and factory cat into the chambered exhaust.

My bad, those are second generation Dymag magnesium rims used during the Corvette Challenge series. Pretty rare. Here's a few more pics:

Nice fit on that car!

Your original wheels also look like they are in great shape. Do you have plans for them? I'm looking for a set and may be willing to take them off your hands.

Nice wheels! I would assume a set of those Dymags are an arm, a leg, and your first born child? lol
