I'm running electric fans so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I'm tired of having to worry about hitting it on the ground pulling in and out of places. And plus, I think it will look much better behind the grill!

I'm shooting for the same goal! BTW, have you ever raced a silver 6 liter gto with black wheels in Savannah? Says he has exhaust only, but from the notes that car was making today it didn't sound like it. He goes to my school and said he outran a blue turbo truck in Savannah. Just wondering..

these are the best picks I could get without jacking up the truck. Hope this helps.

Yep, that's him. He has black wheels now and his older brother has a black c6 vette with black wheels too. Can't wait to race them when I get the meth kit on..
