I typically like the '00 rims best...but you're right, the car does seem to come alive with those Z rims...maybe it has something to do with the top being down too.
Looks real good!

Wow. Glad you noticed. I forgot to mention that my husband lowered the car using the stock adjustments on the front and back. Kind of nice for a little change with no major parts removed or kit bought.
