Default Just got ZR1 wheels, cheap!

I searched for a while and finally found a good deal, what do you guys think?

they are ZR1 type wheels, with 17x9 with 275/40/17 Riken raptors at 315/35/17 Nitto 555R, the front tires are brand new, the back ones have 500 miles, still with the rubber hairs sticking to them.

Paid $500 for the whole thing. Can't wait to install them this weekend.

The tires alone are worth that much. That's a steal.

i have the exact same setup on my car now, except my front tires are Fusion 275's and my rear wheels are OE 17x11's....the 555R's are awesome on the street.......i'm kind of tired of the ZR1's and ready for a change.

THanks everyone, i'm pumped about it.

I found them on Craigslist, i looked for a couple months to try to find something similar, this is perfect for me, I found them two hours away from where I live, and the guy met me half hour down the street. Couldn't have asked for better.

Also, if anyone has any tips on what i can do to lower this at minimal price, i wanted to lower it but i was waiting to find out what type of wheels/tires i was going to get first, any opinions welcome, i figure enough people around here have this set up.

I read thru the suspension section, but there's so much info there my head is spinning, and I'm not looking to spend thousands, just a few hundred to lower it, I dont have the budget for a crazy suspension set up right now.

I was thinking something like this, but wanted to get some feedback before i buy it.
