Lookin' good Matt! I was looking at WS6 TA's before I bought my Corvette. I couldn't find any that weren't black or I would be driving a TA today instead of my 2000 coupe.

It is a Pontiac... and a very nice, rare one at that. The fact that you come in "indirectly" trying to get the mods to lock the thread by your little remark is laughable. So I threw in a few pics of my C5Z to appease YOU... Seems as though everyone else has nothing but positive comments.. ( those who choose to comment). It's your M.O Bill.... Clearly not a C5... Did you really have to come in and **** on my thread?

A lot of guy on this forum have multiple vehicles, I don't see anyone else whining about a pic of a "Pontiac"... Everyone on this forum knows my
C5Z!

I am not whining at all, I told you a number of times it was a nice car, I based my post on the mods actions on how they handle non Vette threads, Sorry I got your pants in an up roar, In case you didn't notice I did delete my post about the thread a while ago.
Again I am sorry you feel I was being negative about you posting a WS6, I wasn't at all.
Again, I am sorry.

They are the TT2 (2pc) wheels.... got them from Summit Racing. 17x9.5 up front, 17x11 in the rear... running a Nitto 555 (275) up front and the Nitto 555R (315) out back... I had found some FIKSE FM5's that I wanted but a buddy of mine snagged em up before I could even bid... The TT2 is a pretty common wheels for the 4th gen Fbod's although I have seen them on C1,C2's and the look very nice!

I was looking at installing Torq Thrust II on my 2nd gen, If I still had the car they would be on it.
