Default New Black on Black Z06 Motorsports!!

Hey guys,
I just picked up these new rims today and they are hott!! Trust me the pictures do not do these wheels justice. They are 18 x 9.5's and are made by Factory Reproductions. However, now I need help on deciding which tires to mount on them. I was thinking about going with 275/35-ZR18 tires but I'm not sure which companies to go for. So gimme what you got guys!! Thanks!
-Patrick

very nice indeed...i guess i've never seen an all black Zo6 rim to know what it'll look like on the car. but can't wait to see pics!

as for tires. my suggestion is some BFG G-Force kDW2's (new tread) they are great summer tires! i just got them for my Zo6 motorports rims, and my buddy just got them for his Chrome C6 rims on his formula. they are a great tire IMO. just my $0.02... the 275-35zr18 will look great on there!

I'll post up pics when I get them mounted but do you think that the 9.5s will cause some rubbing issues?

Nice...I live in Cali so rain should not be that much of an issue. How much did you pay for your BFG G-Forces? I need some tires that won't be too expensive.

Alright, so far it looks like I'll be getting four Kumho Ectsa Supra 712s (275/35/18W). Do you think I need to run the same sizes on all fours or could I go with a smaller tire up front? Also concerning the sidewall height (35) should I go smaller? Thanks!

i paid like $725ish for all 4 of my tires. i get a few bucks off from Tire rack but nothing to big...

if you are going for just a dry only "summer" tire, maybe check out just the kD's

275's all around will fit and look just fine! there's about a million and one people running those sizes! they shouldn't rub at all, the rears depending on the offset might rub the inner fender, but since they're the 9.5's i don't think you will have the same problem i ran into with the 10.5's.....

hope that helps! can't wait to see some pics!

I've never liked the all black look, since the wheel blends in with the tire, and you can't tell how big the wheels is. Reminds me of the old school black steel 15" wheels on cars. The rivets might help with that, though, and I guess you can't go wrong with $300 for all 4.
