The offset is AWESOME! I was hoping you'd get a better set of wheels on that car after all your work! :) Good job..!

Good for at least 20Hp per wheel. Also, they are gaudy, IMHO.

I looked at your username afterwards, and knew it wasn't right. :p

If the car was manufactured today I think that's closer to how it would be done. Even Saleens get 20's, nothing wrong with modernizing an old car.

Where do I get the hood?

The guy (blue_t) made his own, he tried creating a mold in his spare time but was unsuccessful in his quick attempt. He might have one made by now, you can find him on the

I love the look of it, rims go well with that front air dam and hood. Rims must have a nice lip to them IMO. I give it a pair of thumbs up!

love them
thats the member (over there) that moulded a pont grand am air dam on to the front, ive read alot on that car, and tried to duplicate the front end but all i could find was a grand prix and it would have to be hacked then totally reformed, the rims are a new touch since ive seen it last but i think it compliments the over all look of the car

I think they look sharp with that car. I'ts a little low for my taste, but I'm diggin the hood and the front bumper cover.

That how they should came from factory.This front end and the hood make a big difference in look of the car.

They'd be awesome without the rivet look...

They're probably three piece wheels. But, maybe not. They're available in different widths/ heights but the price screams 1 piece all over it.

Can someone do me a favor and ask him what his overall wheel/tire dia is in the rear?

I'd appreciate it. :D I try to stay out of Calvins house.

Holy Sh!t !! Looks really nice. Overall a damn fine job. Those wheels set off the whole package just right

IMO 2" smaller and they'd look great. The car should come up about 1.5" too. I like the air dam but it kind of clashes with the bulbous gen 2 nose.

Wheels look kickass but the hood should taper more and follow the lines better, it looks like a strip just laid down straight.

Not too sound like a a$$ but your hood looks like a strip laid down also....

the "strip" looks good on a Gen1 cause of its sharper lines.......us Gen2 guys need a hood that follows the curves better so it doesnt clash with the rest of the car.......the hood on that one looks good, but we already have a bulge on the hood to start with, im waiting for somebody to follow those lines and raise that whole part of the hood........IMO wheels are too big....... 18's are enough for a VIII. .......id probably mess up a set of 20"s in about an hour over here if i took all the crappy roads lol
