Thanks for the comments guys

I know it would look PERFECT lowered an inch to an inch and a half, but I can't because since I have the BMR Trak pak, the cross brace where the tq arm mounts that is welded to my subframe connectors has VERY LOW ground clearance and already scrapes alot on speedbumps and steep driveways so I'm pretty much stuck at this stance

I agree I like the vette 'wagon wheels' on f-body's...

BTW That's a nice clean looking ride you got there derrick. Did you remove the side moldings yourself? That was on my list of things to do this summer I was just wondering how hard it was to DIY.

I used a heat gun, and some fishing line. Run the heat gun back and forth to heat the molding making it pliable. Then slip the fishing line in behind it a saw up and down removing the adhesive. When the heat gun died I used hot water. And some goo-gone to remove the adheasive. Just make sure to wax the spot where the adhesive was.

It was a 2 out of 10 on a hardness scale.

They can be found easily on google by just searching 99 corvette rims. And there are lots of places that have them on EBAY...Good luck finding the center caps though...They were harder to find then the rims.
