Thanks. They sure make some nice wheels. Although I'm not too fond of how they have the valve stem mounted behind the spokes though.

Yesterday afternoon went to private BBQ/car show south of Houston with the guys from the local firebird club and snapped some pictures.

Got lots of compliments on the new wheels from the fellow Firebird owners.

WOW!!! The wheels look killer on there. I also like the HO stripe, when did that magically appear on there?

Thanks Rob. The stripe has been there since day one, I put it on right after car got painted. Here's a picture of it after I put it on. Should have gotten the stripe in white.

Thanks Casey. Can't wait to see your Camaro finished.

Some stuff from Kore3. :ups: C6 z51 calipers/brackets/billet hubs/ARP studs. A tad disappointed to see the calipers are plain aluminum, not the ones with the dark grey finish and Kore3 logo. Called Tobin up and he said they stopped adding the logos awhile back. Kind of bummed. Guess I'll just paint the calipers.

DBA 4000 T3 Z51 rotors. Ordered them from autoanything with 20% off. These things are huge.

I'm out of town this weekend, so hopefully will have these installed next weekend. After that the LS1 brakes on there will be up for sale.
