X2
If waited a little bit and saved up for my Upgrade on my auto
Looking back I would have just put it on the credit card
HUUUUGE difference especially in first gear. I went from a 15.50 or so stock to a 14.14 spinning in the quarter.
Obviously you need to go with The Crate Engine Depot Plug and Play kit
just in case you have not read about that yet.

Congrats on the purchase.I always like to own cars that are rare.
See my avatar.
The I have seen I think a total of four ever.
Still would love to have a meet where all of or most of the group here including all HHRs LS LT SS could show up to.
OOPS I am rambling

Congrats and enjoy.

So true A&P. When I registered my 73 Nova SS for collector plates before I sold it I had to put on the ugly stock wheels in order to get it registered without a hassle. And when I sold it a few years later the guy told me he wouldn't of bought the car if I didn't have the stock wheels or he couldn't of found them. And this is a Nova. lol

I would not give my SS wheels up for anyone or anything.

So many of todays wheels just all look alike and I love the clean unclutter of the SS wheel.

Like he said if you ever went to sell it most people will ask you first if you have the original wheels. In a few years they will be difficult to find in good condition. Just aska GN owner.

Ok, I get it folks lol. I plan on running this thing until it dies. This is the deal I could make and not lose the rims I love. I don't plan on selling my SS as a classic and I may be able to pick up a set in the future. I've gotten a ton of head turns and comments about my rims.

I love car enthusiasts lol.

If I would have kept the SS wheels I would have committed blasphemy in the eyes of many by painting or powder coating them black.

Congrats! I'm sure you'll like the SS. By the way did you check if the stg 1 is not already installed on your SS? As for the wheels, even if i've installed a new set of Rial Nogaro wheels on my car, i kept the original wheels.
