This car is owned by GS - T.O. and he did a L-Tuned suspension.. Even thou you all frown on the Zenetti's on this particular car (Silver) it really looks good.. I agree thou a staggered setup would of been nicer but that's one of prices you pay when you go with look alike rims.. I think its a copy of the Lowenhart BR5 (That is just off the top of my head).. Manaray will correct me if he views this post..

Boy, were my ears ringing...

Manaslapper to the rescue! (Bit, I don't know about THAT name though, it sounds like gay pornostar name or something!!)

Anyways! The Zenetti Mystics are CLEAR knock-off's of the Weds Kranze Cerebrus...check out the attached photo of the real wheel...(but it's in chrome...bleah!)

Anyways, on the real deal, you can do a 19"x8.5" front and a 19"x9.5" out back...(the size range from 17"x7.0" up to 19"x14.5")

The only "advantage" that the Zenetti offers is that it comes in 20"...but to tell you the truth, I'd rather do REAL 19" rims than fake 20's any day of the week...

I think his car is silver...

I really don't see a reason to do a 18/19 or 19/20 setup. I would rather do 19's all around or 20's all around...of 18's if you live in a particularly pothole infest area...Tarzana (if we're talking about the Tarzana in Los Angeles County), doesn't really have this problem...

Once you get your GS, you'll never want to go back to a Camaro! How has the car been? A friend of mine had the same body style (I don't know the year) and man, was that thing a pile of CRAP! He bought a SC300 and now he KNOWS what he's been missing!

Yes it's Tarzana Ca..... anyone close? I bought the camaro for speed and looks......thats what I got...
Car handles like a Caddy...cornering AHHHH:eek:. Front end bottoms out EVERYWHERE. If you ever see a lowered camaro, they are nutts! I bought it new from competition chevrolet (rydel now). I will never ever ever buy from them again....car had a problem going over bumps (rear axle would hit the exhaust piping) probably cause of the 2 15's, & pinion seal broke 3 or 4 times. They did nothing but waste 4 trips there. I was so fed up I went in the showroom and started to raise my voice and boy did they listen. I had the president or some**** escort me into the main office and he gave me the run arround. Long story short; engine rocked 200 low end ponies. Suspension sucked royally. Sound characteristics of the camaro are phenominal (hatchback). Car did me well (women!) but I think its time to step up to a classier ryde...GS400 baby
