What kind of spacers did u use to get the wheels on there? I want 4th gen or vette wheels but don't wanna pay all that $ on top of the expensive wheels just to get them on there...
I noticed in the background a possibility where you may have "borrowed" those wheels from

I picked up the spacers at www.skulte.com , they cost about $300 bux , but work very well. Their may be issues with your wheel wells though. I had to have mine banged out because the tires were scraping the wheel well.

im starting to think they are
The guy I got the car from may have done so, however I did not.. They look like RS tail lights now that I notice. Maybe someone who knows the difference on the street would think I was a badged up RS and come get some from this big bad 350. hehe.. a sleep of sorts eh ?

the only reason i can forsee someone putting RS tiallights on an IROC is that the old ones got busted and whatever that menas, nothing good could come of that

Hmm... I thought only SC's got those tail lights. And older model Camaro's. It seem like someone put those on there (*** knows why) after one of them got smacked, and thats all they could find. I dunno. You ever think about changing them back to Grid? That would look much better, IMHO.
You ever checked your VIN?

huh, looks good..
nice wheels, kinda like mine,....I got both sets of the C5 wheels, got a silver set, then opted for the chrome C5, looked better all around I thought. I didn't have to bang out my wheel wells, I have a 265/35/18 on mine....

Well im still working on internal tweaks right now. Got an edlebrock manifold, just waiting so I can afford the runners and port out the plenum, essentially, they take precedence to asthetic work at the moment. ( unless someone knows a place where I can get them ultra cheap... the grid tail lights)
