I think it is simply all about what you like. I love the sawblades on my red '94 (see avatar) and will never change them. However, I put black Z06 Motorsports on my '89 as I absolutely HATED the cuisinart wheels. I think the new wheels change the look of the car for the better.

My first mod was to ditch the ugly saw blades in favor of the Gunmetal ZR-1's one of the first ones with them on in this forum have them.


Second mod was new paint and that decision I was forced into doing because of some A-hole in a Lexus that hit me While I was stoped in a turning lane blinker on and horn a blowing.

after



I like playing with my cars making them faster, louder, shinyer, and Eyecatching..... It realy is a sickness and it will never stop

i'm sure i am in the minority, but i really can't stand after market wheels on an otherwise perfectly good C4.
