here?

I can't tell you much about the stripes except that they are flat black and I think they are 9" wide with about a quarter inch pin stripe on the outside of each larger stripe. The dealer installed the stripes before I purchased the car so I don't know the details of how they were done or who did them. They are vinyl and not painted on. The pictures don't do them or the wheels much justice as they look much better in person.

As for the tires, the fronts are 255/35/20 mounted on 20x8.5 wheels and the rears are 285/35/20 mounted on 20x9.5 wheels.

The wheel and tire package was a little over $3K. Tires are Nitto NT555.

Why yes they really do change the muscle car look don't they... they actually do fill out those enormous wheelwells now. FLOWER POWER baby!!!

Why do people feel compelled to come into a thread that a specific question is being asked and answered among mature adults and TRY to insult people?

I didn't get that from his post. Only offering his opinion. I also don't particularly like the look, but you probably won't like the wheels I choose, either. So what. If you only want positive responses, you're giong to be very frustrated. eace:
