Got the slicks mounted

After tons of grinding on the calipers, I got the 15x10 Prostars to fit! I'm running the MT ET Streets 28 x 11.5 x 15. It got washed and detailed and then I took a few pics before all the light was gone. What do you think?

I'm more partial to the SS spoiler and SS hood (which are overdone, but always looks good). Your spoiler reminds me of the late 70's z28 with the big wing (I assume that's the RKSport freedom wing?). The GFX compliments the hood and spoiler real nice. Looks pretty damn good my friend... +1 for originality

I'd maybe add some old school z28 badges, and that would look sick...

thanks. I'm happy with how it all went together.

I actually have some custom 1 of a kind badges that will be going on with my new motor in about a month

Looks good! I was just wondering how the car handles with ET Streets on wet surface like that? I drive during the summer on ET Street radials all the time I have never been caught in the rain yet (knock on wood) but it would be nice to know that if I did get caught it's not so bad?

you'd have to put a gun to my head to drive those in wet weather! No way man. I just washed it and pulled it out of the garage after the rain stopped.

Thanks man.

Do you mind if I put a copy of your original post into the FAQ for the Drag Wheels and Tires?
