Default New Wheels on the Formula!

I recently picked up a used set of OEM Z06 wheels from a member on here, and finally got the chance to install them on the car.

Let me know what you think!

Looks good with your color. What kind of tires are those? The tread looks interesting to say the least.

Thanks Choco, the back tires are BFG KDW (New Tread), and the fronts are BFG KDW (Traditional Tread).

The tires are fairly decent.

It's hard to give good feeback, since my previous tires were M&S 245 Nitto's, and I also have a set of M/T ET Streets.

They are clearly not as good as the M/T's, but they do hook well. They hold on very well in 1st gear, even with 3.73's. I have yet to spin them in second.

None at all. They bolted up, and fit perfect and flush with the body.

They look great and compliment the color of the car very nicely.

Looks wise, I would have rather had chrome. I think they look better on a NBM car. My stock wheels were chrome, but they were the biggest PITA since the car sits outside. I would have to polish them everytime I went for a drive because of all the water spots.

I hate black wheels on a NBM car, which is why I ended up going with the gunmetal. I think it was a good compromise. Also, they require next to no maintenance.

those are my old wheels and tires, and they go with nbm perfectly. those kdw's hook very well. like he said, first you might spin some, but i threw a 150 shot at it in second and there was no spin whatsoever. i run 4.10s as well..... they turned out awesome man.
