Default Pics of wheels on "01" SOM WS6???

I am trying to get an idea of the ay different wheels look in combination with the color (SOM) and shape of my car. I am almost sold on Weld Draglites. But the idea of grinding stuff is scary. Honestly, I dont know much about tires. All I know is that I want fat/wide tires in the back (maybe 11 inches wide). Not sure about the front maybe 9 inches. Id probably be using nittos.

Any one have pics of different rims on the SOM WS6?

Thanks in advance,

Crystal

LOL! J/K IMO SOM is the ONLY color that the engine bay parts can be painted to match the car and STILL look good! I guess I'm just envious! LOL

I am havign trouble understanding back spacing.... I want welds on my car. I probably wont get skinnies on the front cause I will drive on the street with it and I corner like an animal. So i am trying to figuire out what combo to go with that does not require grinding a caliper.

Any advice? ps.... thanks guys

Somebody help me here. Who's the guy with the black Z06 with the black iForged wheels??? Those would look good, only painted dark grey instead of black.

Do you guys think???

according to some folks on here, 15x3.5 weld's are the only option in the front. anything wider and the grinding gets even worse.

btw, that black z06 i believe is owned by a guy with the name diesel on here. beautiful car, its my wallpaper .

hey crystal. good group here. have you thought about the Weld XP series wheels? they arent light, but look like prostars/drag lites and have full size fronts. you can get them in 16-18" sizes.
