what brand do you guys reccomend?

i was looking at the g-force r1 from bfgoodrich and those look pretty badass, im thinking with going with those in the rear and getting regular tires in front

what do you guys think?

I was going to recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessentra's from Tomzwheel's but I don't they make them in 315's. Great tires and less expensive than the BF Goodrich which I was going to get.

You can get 315 Nittos for $368 Shipped @ Discount Direct.

The Nittos won't need are a little easier to fit out back if you haven't rolled your fenders & done the BFH mod. If you daily drive your car or if you ever have to drive you car in the rain, Nitto drag radials are your best choice if you want to go with a drag radial. If all you want is street legal, the new BFG tread pattern is available in 18", but sucks since it's not for 17" in a 315....that's the other reason I went Nitto, I don't like the old BFG drag radial.

ahhh, zr1's... chrome ones...
sorry I am not looking for more zr1's.
I have some and if I am going to get any other rims, they are going to be some 16's for my slicks.

but they look good.

I never understood why people spend $$$ on getting stock wheels? why not save a get something different?

Not everyone is a big baller like you JK....some people actually like the factory wheels.....I'm glad to be rid of my Y2K, but they served a purpose & I couldn't pass up the deal I got on them. The 18" were a great upgrade over my stock 16".

Pshhh not a baller at alll... I just but $$ to the side and got a aftermakert wheel. IMO stock vett wheels are for stock vetts, but to each there own.

I am sorry but I agree. I have the c6 Z06 wheels on my SS and thought they looked great at first. I ordered them when I was still in Iraq and never saw them in person. Now I wish that I had ordered something more aggressive, something with a nice fat lip.

I think the wheels that you are getting are to much cleaning trouble. I would not want to clean all of those fake rivets all the time. The wheels on my truck have those, I never clean them like I should.

If you really like the factory vette looking wheel, I will sell you my wheels WITH Nittos already on them for $1,000, no curb rash.
