No matter what I do, it's still a Cavalier.

Heck yeah man!!

Sweet buttery Jesus. The stretch is pretty nuts. Those wheels are perfect for that car IMO.

[MrDanguy]

This is fucking glorious.

LOOKS AMAZING! Freaking good work.

I also really really like your garage.

I really love the zues fastener idea. This is something more people should do. You can even whip the bumper off to get in a friend's driveway or something.

Can you paint/powder coat the fasteners?

I could not agree more. The fasteners are fairly polished, though, it is not represented well in the picture. I figure with the polished wheels it will suit quite well.

Love the zues idea as well!! Same thoughts as to powder or paint them but since the car is silver you might not notice them from 10 ft or further away and it's not like they will stand out drastically so it might just look cool seeing them anyway!

Looking good. Not often you hear "10.5 wheels" and Cavalier in the same sentence.

That engine bay is a work of art too. Makes me kick myself for not doing that work while I had my engine out. Oh well. Not like I could in a storage space anyway. There's always the turbo build I suppose.

Thank you, sir. Truly means a lot.

wow wheel choice is so dope. Please polish the eff out of those lips. make them mirrors

Thank you! The lips were beautifully polished when I bought them, and will be again! I really had a hard time pulling the trigger on cutting them to bits and having to start over, but currently I'm overjoyed with my decision.

You seem to be in my head today! 2nd post that describe what i'm exactly thinking!


+1 LOL

Well gentlemen, (and potential ladies)

There is no real lead up to this, so here you go.











Im overwhelmed by how amazing my wheel width and offset guess worked. Could not be happier.

PS, the right rear wheel is flat, that is why there is some aweful wheel gap on the left rear side.

Took the majority of the night off, however, was at the shop for a half hour or so. I've been contemplating the last while about bumper removal. This previous summer it had to come off twice and both times it wasn't quick, nor was it a lot of fun. Believe it or not there are a lot of "quick release" type things gears towards bumpers. I wanted small, relatively descreet and something that didn't draw your eyes away. I think I've got just the thing.







Installed one, no bracketry or anything yet. I think they will work well.

Is it bad that most of the build so far is to make it easier to get on a tow-truck?

ugh This thread gets me stiff.

Thanks, man.

You're right, I really should.

[sawatsky]

Thanks, Steve. You should swing out sometime.

You're right, I really should.
