Excidium28,
Do you have and can you post some pics of your Vette?
The on in your avatar is a bit small, sure would like to see
some bigger pics.
It looks pretty good from here.

That vette in the mag is different. The one in the mag has a spoiler and a full rear window, and not a convertable. Looks like a different car to me. But that car still looks Bad AZZ though.

That look's like mcspeed's frend's 81 vette, but he didnt have a wing. Maybe he added it after the rework of the rear fender

center is pretty positive
.In order to run 18/12 you have a very deep dish rim, and it stick out like a sore thumb, 18/10 up front need flares to
I learned a long time ago some people don't always tell the truth.
here is a 17/11, an look how negative the center is.
for anyone who can post a pic of 69MYWAY car please do, and you can see the difference, He has a buddy with a black 80 model to, that needed flares.
DO NOT, buy wheels, and have them custom made just because someone said they fit.. there are no refunds, PERIOD
..Always make sure they will fit, or have a shop measure for you

did you look at the link?
So, you are ready to add that PHAT Killer Vette look to your late model C3 so you can stuff some HUGE on LARGE 12" wide rims in the rear? Follow along for the step by step.

I agree, it is not Mcspeed or his friends. But it could have 12 inch rear wheels and flares. What it looks like is that they installed flares by pulling out the fender, like some other forum member suggested back when that question was asked. This is why I would like to see more pictures to see if that is in fact what they did.
If anyone has any idea whose vette this is, I would love to find out.
Thanks
Dave
