What's this? A box? What could be in it?
B-r-a-k-e-R-o-t-o-r? Why that looks mighty thin for a thirdgen rotor.
This looks promising!
Oh my! Does that tape measure say 13" ?!
Slowly gathering parts. Now I need calipers/carries and the special funky brackets. And then wheels. Dammit.  |

Hmm... now what does Ian have planned? And why would he need so much rotor just to stop a 305....  |

I'm going with the c5 setup even though I've heard of the caliper spread issue. Wheels are still undecided. I'd really like some fikse fm10's
or classic CCW
But I have no where near the cash for that!
I may end up running stock 4thgen ws6 5 spokes or some vette wheels.
Tony, you got first dibs on these wheels when I go to sell them. On the condition I'll be the first to buy them back if you ever sell them. |

Those look cool and all but if I went for a completely custom set I like the lace look better than the 5spoke design, ala the BBS LMs.
Everytime I see those wheels I think of that twin roots blown black c3 vette convertible the guy had built out in issaquah or something and then sold it because "he was too tall" |

Holy sh*t. The majority of third-gens don't cost as much as those wheels. And they're not even that good looking. |

They are worth it though, proven to add 30 to 45 horsepower boost. And cool points.  _________________ 1983 Z-28 5.7 LT1, T56, Headman headers, BW 9 Bolt Posi Disc, WS6 suspension

I really dug the CCW's that were on that Black Vette that Ian showed us. They look good on GTA's. Never seen em on a regular camaro, but I'd probably dig em. _________________

Somehow I knew you'd know who I was talking about. Those are 17's all around, right? Do you know width? |

| The hex ones aren't bad, but I don't like wheels with real thin spokes like the 505s. Looks way to damn ghetto. |
