am i right about there being holes under the front plate???? what are some things i can do if there are holes? i mean some ways to fill them in...

[jackal2000]

yes there are holes. my car never had a front plate so the wholes are quite small since no screws have been in them. i dont think on your car it wold too noticeable though since you have a darker color.

Downtown Albany near the Egg has some crappy roads, but the rest of Albany County will be safe for a drop. I drove my H&R dropped Grand Am around Albany for 2 years and probably didn't scrape the bottom more than 5 times. Anywayz, the wheels look good. I think they make them for the GTO. Drop that ish and I'll give you a 7.

did you have to get hub centric rings to get that to fit?

[Hodge]

very nice ride looks clean thats what is most important.

The rims are found here

I am thinking of them for my gt as well. With a drop they would look hot. Pretty good price too.

I have eibach pro springs. They are good. not to low or to high, they are just right for me.

no i didnt, just put em right on. After looking on wheelsnext.com i noticed i could have bought some nice black rims with a chrome lip (17s) for around $700 WITH tires. Right now the lip on one of my rims is bent a little, im trying to decide if i should get it fixed and get a new tire and just keep them, or try and sell them for cheap and the person who buys them can get it fixed. 18s are too big for around here, too many potholes or im just a horrible driver (i blew out 3 tires in the few months i had them). I LOVE THEM, but they might just keep causing me to spend more money, DONT buy hankook tires, company blows.

Nah man, keep 18s just be careful and use your head. Michigan's probably just as bad. A lot of us are using 18" rims and have no problems as long as we're smart about the roads we're on.

Heh, I coulda told you that. Stick to reputable tire brands, not whatever the places give you in their package deals or on sale because they are always crap. You'll be fine with 18's also as long as your tires are big enough. People are always going for the ghetto fabulous "rubber band" look and they get tires that are too narrow for the wheels they are on and/or too thin a sidewall. If you get the proper size tire for your rim, the tire is supposed to stick out slightly and protect your rim so they won't get bent. You should still drive carefully and watch for pot holes of course.
