Nice. I think the Spyder wheels look like they belong on the 4th gens, even more so than the split spoke Z06's everyone uses.

Great cars guys! NBM and spyders are a great fit for each other. I have been looking at these wheels. I may have to get a set for my NBM Z28.

I really wanted to put the Z06s on but hated that all the ones I was looking at had the rivets all around the lip. Thought hard on some C6 ZR1s but in the end decided they probably looked better on a TA than a Camaro. Just too busy for me on my car. Glad I found the Spyders.

I thought about doing it but in the end didn't. Will see how the Stranos settle out and go from there.

My wide angle lens tends to slightly distort things depending on how I shoot them. But ya, it does look monsterous there haha!

And cancam, the car looks great with the black wheels on. Never considered black because I usually do not like the look, see it could have been sweet though now.

No, they are supposed to be that way for some reason. Thought the same thing when I first installed them.

These are Ultrac Sessantas from Vredestein. Read enough good about them to give them a try. So far so good, of the whole 120 miles I've driven on them.

Thanks, I'm liking how the car is sitting now. I'm sure the Stranos will settle some and am tuning the shocks to my liking now.

And I figured out how to quote more than one at a time lol!

I scraped the exhaust getting in and out of the garage I normally keep the car in before the drop, will see how bad it is at some point in the near future.



Now on the other end of the spectrum if I go any higher with this one I wont be able to get it in the garage at all for a whole nother reason!
