Well, I'm wanting new wheels, and the chrome Y2K C5s are very high on my list. I'm wanting 17" front and 18" rear chrome ones, and I found them at Performance Wheel Outlet for $305 for the front and $322 for the rear. First off, if anyone knows of a better place to get them, please let me know. Also, is there any special back spacing I need or are the C5 wheels direct replacements on F-Bodies (according to PWO it seems like they are).
My other question is tires, I of course want to keep my speedo correct, what tire sizes should I be looking at? I was looking at the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s in 275/40 for the front and 275/35 for the rear. That puts rims and tires at exactly $1800 if I get the wheels from PWO and the tires from Tire Rack. Thanks for any help answering any and all my questions, and last but not least, pictures would be great <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Thanks guy <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

All 17s from PWO, and my car is lowered. I have 275/40s on them. Good quality wheel and the best price that I know of. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />
I do like the 18s in the rear but at the time there was not a 18" drag radial available.
