Default New Black 18 Inch C6 Motorsport Rims w/ Goodyear Eagle GT Tires

I've been waiting soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to do this. Eagerly awaiting responses from everyone. The rims are 18 x 8.5 inches with no spacers required. The tires are 245/40ZR18 Goodyear Eagle Gt's. Here are the before and after pictures.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!

Looks nice, havent really seen anyone running those wheels. Rivets kind of ruin them a bit but still came out looking nice. Now prepare for comments on those tail lights lol

Looks good. Do you think you could fit a 9.5 or 10.5 wide rim?

Thanks. Yah not too many riding on these. That's why I chose them. I personally like the rivet look but hey you can't please everyone. That's why I love my car! It's a direct reflection of me. HAWT. lol. I've had those tail lights for quite awhile and I also love them. Except they get moisture in them every once and a while. So, i'm def thinking of getting new ones. :-)

I'm not too sure on this one. I did see many 9.5 wide rims out there when I searched for years. My advice to you is the same thing I did.

1. Found a wheel size I wanted.
2. Called my local wheel and tire business. (Adirondack Tire (NY))
3. Told them what size I wanted and waited for reply on whether or not it was doable.

Those 3 steps will get you on your way to your new babies. lol. Now for the money part that's a whole other story. lol.

Since you have a v6 I guess the small wheels and tires are okay. You would be in trouble if you were puttin some power to the ground.

Oh, they look pretty good.

black wheels and chrome tail lights clash too much. I would put a few light coats of niteshade on the tails.

No way I would take the kit off. No point. I however thought of getting a different kit for it eventually. As far as the tail lights go. I actually agree with you guys. They're carbon fiber tail lights I got about 3 1/2 years ago. If I could get the same look just with a black background and not carbon fiber they should look good.

You guys got any websites for good tail lights? Other than ebay. lol....
