Default Corvette Wheels on My WS6 - PICS

I just put a set of corvette wheels (17" Front, 18" Back) on my WS6. Below are a couple pics. I am not sure what to think of them yet, I just painted my calipers red. Everyone please tell me what you think of it. Thanks.

I like them. From a distance those thin spokes almost look like the FireHawk wheels.

Thanks, They do resemble the firehawk wheels alot. I like it but its very hard for me to judge my own ride so Id like to see what everyone else thinks of it. I appreciate the compliment.

Man.. those look sweet..

I purchased the same ones on Fri. of last week.

I've bought a Pro-Kit, but I may get the sportlines. Your car looks awesome - slammed- how's the ride?

Are you having any problems with your ABS being thrown off due to the different diameters?

I haven't really noticed any change at all with the ABS.

Oh ok, I've read a few times that the ABS light comes on due to different overall diameters between the front and rear tire/wheel combo. Good to hear you're not having problems.

The car looks great by the way.

As long as the overall diameter is the same as stock, you shouldn't have a problem. 275/35/18 for the rear and 275/40/17 for the front should work perfect.
