New rims, ugly car

Here's a few pictures of my 86 z28 it's been sitting for awhile, but I have regained my interest in working on it. Let me know what ya think.

I normally don't like those wheels, but in that size and the dish that's on it, I like them. Looks good. Keep that interest up.

Are those Crager SS wheels, I'd thought about them but didn't think they'd look that good on a ThirdGen.

Re: New rims, ugly car

I've seen them on several third gens around my area but they've all been on cars that have been driven into the ground so you have nice shiny wheels mixed in with rust so I've never gotten a good look on a nice clean car. As far as I can tell in the pic they look pretty sweet. Have any pics directly of the side?

The cragars arent my favorite either but I got them for $600 with the Toyo tires, all pretty much brand new, I couldn't pass it up.

Re: New rims, ugly car

It's not an ugly car, you just need some paint and that thing will look awesome. looks like you got a solid motor there. Keep up the progress.
