Default Finally got the new wheels on my snakeskin green T/A

I really need a good camera that can capture this color at all. But heres some cell phone pics.
18x9.5 +45mm with 285/35/18 front
19x10 +45mm with 305/30/19 rear
Im really digging how the rims are more flush than the stockers were.

shes begging to be lowered now, and she will get what she wants very soon!

Sorry if I missed out on another thread, but what rims are they? My car is dying for new wheels, and I'm still deciding on what to get.

I know you were going to do the lip of you rim green as well but I think the rims look good just as they are IMO

That looks 10 times better than the other wheels you had on there the black wheels really brought it all together.

They are Ronal lz-vt wheels. They were quite the expensive wheel a few years back 3-4k. Popular with the vette guys. There a guy who's got a few sets selling for about 900.

I think you should....better yet. Bet you won't! lol Possibly powercoat the center caps to black and get black lugs or color match the lugs.

plan on the lugs and center caps, very soon whenever I have some free time. ahhh I already color matched all the wheel bolts and that was a BI&^*!! mainly just removing all the old loc-tite for reassembly.
