just talked to pedders too. my Xa kit is going out on monday!!! cant wait to get it put on. ill report on it when its installed and i take some corners.

 

Lookin' sharp!

 

got my Pedders Xa kit installed. Backstreet did an amazing job. ill post some pics up here later. i didnt get any install pics like pete had wanted but ill take some of the cars stance and a feww from underneath the car.right now the shocks are set at 13 in the fornt and 10 in the rear and it rides like stock but lower. i need to turn it up a notch and stiffen it up and take some turns in it! we did have a little bit of a problem with the larger wheels. the TPS were rubbing on the E brake cable. just a minor flaw. but we zip tied the line out of the way. and there is a little chatter from the rear springs hitting when compressed. but backstreet has a way to take care of that. other than that, this car looks bad *** now! thanks pete and the guys at backstreet!

 

Black wheels + black lip + black car is just uninspiring to me.

That car would look a hell of a lot better if the whole wheel was chrome (or polished) or at least the lips. The design of the wheel looks great, it's just the color that ruins it for me.

 

see the chrome is just uninspiring to me.

 

I'm not really a fan of black wheels, but I do think that they look good on your Camaro. My problem with these wheels is not the color its the style. I don't like how you can see through the wheel that much, especially if you have not put bigger brakes on the car. It does look like the toy DUB Camaros, but I think the look looks better on the toys then the real thing.

 

With the way the lighting looks in this pictures, it reminds me of one of those photos that your dad, uncle, or grandpa would show you of their car they had back in the day!

 

the reason i went with a wheel like this is because it was the lightest wheels they made. knowing i was going bigger i wanted to make sure i gotthe lightest wheel i could find. i didnt want to lose too much, if any, performance. a big brake kit is in the works. either a big brake upgrade or procharger. i think ill do a pole and see what people think. i want to keep the matte black look of the calipers though. it just goes with the theme of the car. if i do an upgrade ill keep the rears the same and just do a 6 piston up front and larger rotors all the way around. but it had to match the flat black ones in the rear.

if your coming to the big camaro show at summit racing in ohio ill be there. come se the wheels for yourself. the pictures dont do the car justice. you get more of a feel for something seeing it in person and not in pictures.

 

Who cares what others think about your look! If you are happy with it, be happy and move on!

 

heres a pic from the back with the pedders xa kit installed. photo album was too full to add pictures of the front. but ill get around to it. i gotta take better pictures of the entire car. maybe this weekend

 

what size/brand of tires are you running?
i didnt read much of the thread, and your car looks great.

 

295/30/22 rear and 265/35/22 front Vredestein Sessentra

 

Only thing i don't like is the small brakes, which you said are going bigger anyway. Car looks real good.

 

yeah. i need to do some larger slotted rotors at least . i would love to do a z06 upgrade(if possibible)

 

Too black for me. I like chrome wheels myself, but to each is own.
