The wheels look good Robert, but the black HRE's you had are still my favorite. When you get tired of these and go back to the Carlssons let me know, I'll take them off your hands.

I do have to agree with everyone else . . . Love the new wheels although the Carlsson's looked a little better IMO.

Loving your new wheels You should paint your grille black like Vik said..

BTW, did you raise your fronts for winter time? It looks awfully unbalance..

Attempting the retrofit...

Factory SL55 mufflers. Hope the right one will clear the spare tire tub.

I have the car @ the perfect height so it won't scrape.

could do that, but I have my 18" spare in there now...and would like to have it when I get a flat.
also, if I do, there will be a big round hole in the trunk..water will get in.

With a splitter?!

Mine scrapes the driveway every time, and it’s not even low.
Kinda surprised you’ve never mentioned, 'it needs a drop!'



Did you get the SL55 exhaust to work? That would be very cool.

btw, the GMC drives over curbs and parking partitions…it has never bottomed.

It's actually a LOT smaller. Here it is next to a sz 9.5 shoe:



it may fit your coupe!

Car looks great but why not lower the front a little more to balance the back?

hmm have you ever think of raising your rear a bit so the car stand more aggressive?

or this is more of a "VIP" look?
