Default WS6's With C6 Vette Wheels.....need pics!

Hello, just looking to see if anybody here has these wheels on their WS6/TA/Firebird. I know they are not a direct replacement, but I am curious to see how the staggered wheels look on a WS6. I am also considering the 17" replicas. I saw them on this car and fell in love with these wheels. Hope the owner doesn't mind me posting a pic, the car is gorgeous.

1. i love the color.
2. go with 18's not much of a price difference but look much better imo.
3. search or go under the wheels and tires section and you will get alot more replies

wabmorgan- Do you have any pics of the 18" setup? I haven't seen it before. Also, did you happen to find 2 pairs of 18" vette wheels or are they replicas?

Cvaught- Looks good. Thanks for the pics.

They are replicas.... 18*9.5





It still needs to be lowered.... but I recently added a T/A spoiler and the heavier T/A spoiler sat the rear end down some so it doesn't sit as high as in these photos.

I went with the p285/35/18 all around so I would be able to rotate.

BTW.... you can get these though http://www.tomzwheels.com They are a sponsor here.

Your car looks awesome, but PLEASE for the love of god take those little flame stickers off it. It ruins an otherwise gorgeous car.

Talking

how you fit 325 in back



Lots of BFH!!!! for sure ! fits barely still got a little rubbing but not much. The rear rims are 19 by 11. the guy i got the rear rims and tires from said the rims have the backspacing to fit a C5, but he had issues with them rubbing and sticking to far out. I also have on 15mm spacers from eibach in the rear to make it fit.
