Just thought I'd share pics of my new wheels mounted on the car (The first pic is from this morning, taken from my window in my room. It cleared up and dried out in the afternoon so I ran out and took some more pics). She's not as pretty as RS12Turbo's S12 but she's my little rust bucket heh.

Diamond Racing wheels, and it freaking rubs under braking right now, but fender flares are on the way.

I love your car. Totally hot S12! I even enjoy the wing, and thats odd for me.

The wheels remind me of dodge truck wheel painted black

Diamond Racing wheels are the ****. They custom make steel wheels to your specs at a decent price. One day I'd like to get some 16x8's with a sweet offset.

Nice s12 man.

Looks great man.

Diamond's are some excellent performance wheels, very light.

Does having 2 spoilers on your car make it faster or just handle twice as good at high speeds?

Car has potential man, the wing is just holding it down

heh, thanks for the love and the hate everybody. I'm still up in the air about the wing, so at this point it could go either way.

I haven't seen my car w/o it yet, so I might like how it looks without it heh. If I decide to remove it, I'll let you all know.

and the double "wing" thing...the one on the bottom is the factory one and makes a bid difference. I've driven S12s with and without them, and at highway speeds, the ones without them feel a lot less stable(not cause of downforce, but because it smooths out the air directly behind the taillights).

The aluminum wing is just for ****s and giggles, but I also like the look :D.

Those wheels look exactly like the rock crawler wheels my dad has got on his jeep! But somehow, they work well with that s12. Gives it a beefy look, that is until you see the wing!

Anyways, looks nice, just lose the wing. Please!

Good ****, except for the department store wing. That's gotta go in a bad, bad way. You needs a wangan wing or some sort whale tail on that sucka.

I'm sorry but from one s12 owner to another. You know your a redneck if you got a wing bolted to another wing and neither do much for a car that doesn't see past 130mph.
