what do you think of my car?

Here are some pictures of my car. I like to keep things clean. I've had these rims and tires since 96, they are 17". I just lowered the car onto groundcontrols with GAB Super R's. I just dynoed it and got 348 rwhp. I've ran a 12.7 @ 114 but feel it should be a little faster with this HP. It still has the original motor with 30000 miles on it but a rebuilt trans and diff. Full 3" exhaust, underdrive pulleys, HKS intake, pettit retuned ecu, 10.5 ignition wires. Anyways here it is.

When you get really tired of them let me know because I like them. Want to trade for a set of OEM chrome rims?

Looks badass IMO. The only things I would do would be to cut that shiffer down some. It's looking like the Sears tower. Also I woudl get a four wheel alignment. Looks like you got some nasty negative camber going on there.
Other than that it looks spotless. Good job!

only 30,000 miles and you had to rebuild the tranny and the diff. i would question that transaction from the previous owner if u just purchased it. may car went 138,000 miles with 56,000 of them with a single turbo before i even touched my tranny. 30,000 original miles doesnt add up with those numbers.

Car looks very nice and clean. One thing you might want to think about: '99 tail lights. Also, if i recall correctly those wheels are insanely heavy. If you switch to something lighter, you should really feel it at lower speeds. Last thing, do you have any engine bay pic?

Very nice, clean car. I'm not a fan of the steering colum mounted gauge, but overall the car is beautiful. I do think it would look better with stock rims on there though.

Nice car. I like the wheels, but I don't think they look good on a silver car. I think they would look better on any other color except CYM. Maybe if you painted them silver or black.
