Default Put on my Birthday Present :)

I just got my c6 z06 rims put on. 18'x 9.5 all the way around. Wish i wouldve got 10.5 in the rear. Toyo Proxes FZ4. I know i could've went better on the tires, but strict budget Tell me what you think. Any suggestions? My next project is probably to lower it with a prokit and the rusted rotors need to go. Lol notice the snow in the background, thats the first daylight it's seen in weeks.

Here are my pics.





Here's in the garage, not so good

x3 - You definitely need a higher profile tire. But, the wheels are sweet.
