    I just did a ton of work to this old 07! Plastic Dipped the sport 17"x7.5" not wide enough for the new 35"x12.5" so I just ordered these rims!! I'll post pics next week when they're installed!

    Nothing like a little flash and chrome! There's still a few of us around that knows what REALLY looks good. It cracks me up how many people do whatever everyone else is doing so they can be "different".....

    Agreed! Just wish they still made some of the old chrome wheels from back in the late 80's, early 90's. More simple designs. KMC used to have one that was a simple design that you would see on Chevy Silverados a lot. It was a rounded 3 spoke design. I had a set back in the day.

    I have a set of Crager SS on my '69 Z28. Owned 'em since the late '70's. They've been on 4 different cars.

    Exactly. Remember the old Appliance 5 spoke wheel? My dad had a 78 Silverado with 50's on the rear and 60's on the front.

    Not here @ work.... I'll try to post a few when I have a chance. Until just a few weeks ago, I had a VERY rare '67 Z28 (Only 602 of them built) It is now in a private collection of a fairly famous Indiana NASCAR driver!!!! My '69 is blue with white stripes, black interior, RS trim package, all matching numbers 302/Muncie 4-speed, still has the "dealer installed option" headers in a box in the trunk (never installed) The ONLY thing not OEM is the Cragers. I have the GM Rally wheels in the garage. About once a month, I get it out of the garage, shorten the life of my tires a bit, then back it in the garage until I need to smell burnt rubber again!

    I bought the '67 30+ years ago. When I sold it, we took the profit and paid off our house. It more than tripled in value. And the wife will never know how much I paid for the '69. I got a reamin' on it, but wanted it VERY bad. '69 Camaro's are the best looking car ever built in my eyes.

    No doubt!! That is one smooth ride. I"m jelly! Saw a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am Indianapolis pace car on Sunday. The guy had it totally restored. It had the scoop on the hood that house the super charger indicator lights. Everything on the car was immaculate. For now, I will just enjoy my new Tacoma. Would love to have an old car to restore. Will have to wait for kids to get out of college though.

    I was in the exact same boat when I bought mine. I also got the AC 4x4 OR with the 6-speed [: Color was not a deciding factor.

    How did the ride quality feel compared to stock ride with the 5100's set at 1.75? I've read on here that pre-loading the stock TRD Off Road coils gives a really bad ride because they're progressive-rate springs. With the stock 265/70 BFG's and the SCS SR8 wheels, I'm already rubbing at full lock stuffed in the front and would like to at least get something going in the front to get me higher.
