I've thought about them, I think they'd look good but they're pretty common. I was also looking at the black z06 motorsports on it. I do need to find bigger wheels at some point, gotta get bigger brakes

NO, IT NEEDS MORE ENGINE, YOU DON'T NEED BRAKES OR SUSPENSION UPGRADES Add power till you lose it, then back it down a notch. 
Go through the summit catalog and buy everything they've got, and don't forget the TORNADO.
Black GS , not the collector's or ZR wheels. Puts a manly stance on the rear. Don't forget the air shocks.

Hmmm weren't the GS wheels 11" in the rear? that'd be pretty slick, I'd have to figure offsets and find out if they'd rub anywhere. Stupid '85 had 38mm offsets I think.
While I'm modding on paper lets drop a LS2 in there a new six speed transmission and coil over shocks... Yeah, that'd be wicked.

Actually that was when he was thinking about trading it in on a mini van. Of course he found out how ridiculous dealerships are when it comes to trading in 'vettes and decided he might as well keep it. Important thing is that it's mine now, and returning to its old glory.

One year ago today I was pushing my Corvette into the garage! I wouldn't trade the experiences or the thrills for anything!
