the shop i ordered them at, the price for tires would have sky rocketed if i got 18's from them, and i got a discount ont he rims cus i got the tires with it, so i kinda just skimped out and saved some money. Btw i just noticed my head lights look yellow in those pics :S donno why, might have been glare, they are clean tho. lmao befor some one says "clean them lights!" haha

Looks good I love those wheels on Gen 4s. Get some better pix up when you can!

As a side note I hate when people write negative crap as well.

Not to rude but you could of got some nice wheels for $1,100. I love Y2k wheels, but you need at least 18s on rear. I see those going for $800-$1300 all the time in 18s

well thats where personal opinion comes to play, all i see around here are zr1 rims/z06 rims, no thanks, ill take the y2k's, now if i wanted to dish out alot of money i can see getting a nice set of i-forged etc, but im over-happy with these.

And to the other comments: Thanks, yea when ever i find time to dust off the digi cam ill take some good pics, I hate how cameras don't do mystic teal cars justice tho

These wheels are not bad at all i like them, but they just look weird in 17's all the way around. You could of got some 18s for that much from a ls1tech sponsor. You could of even went 17s on front 18s rear and look alot better, but now you could always upgrade to 18s in rear and keep the 2 extra 17s for some drig tires

yea, i wanted to do some big meats in the back, however the shop wont order offset tires cus to get their warranty they have to rotate ur tires every 4000-5000 miles, and the warranty is what got me the deal lol. however this summer ill probably have to for simple look reasons

I think your wheels look sweet. The yellowish lookin headlights are one of the first things i noticed tho... lol... I understand what you mean about prices skyrocketing for 18's too. I wanted to get 18x10.5 wheels for the rear wit 295's. Prices for tires are what made me stick with 17's all around...

Looks nice. I just got the same wheels put on my car. Should have pics put up in a few days. Mine are the GM stamped polished ones though. Yours look like the chrome aftermarket version, am I correct?

I got a great deal on mine. $400+shipping w/tires. 18's w/Nitto 555's on the rear & 17's w/coopers on the front.
