Default New wheels/Tires C6 Pics

I had no traction, so I had to buy some wider rubber out back (and front by default). Got a great deal on some take off wheels from a friend of mine, but I'm undecided on whether I like them or not. Got them cheap enough to powdercoat back to my comp grey though, so no biggie.

19X11 with 305/30 and 18X9.5 with 275/35 (Bridgestone R050s).

Backround sucks, just wanted to snap a few before work (just put them on last night).

Tiago...I think I saw your post on TX about the "few" people liking all black wheels!

I'm one of those other guys that has to have some break-up lines...don't like the all black. My favorite is the comp grey stockers that came off, and I'm thinking about just having them widened for the tires I want...a real sleeper look.

If I decide against this combo...I'll probably coat them grey anyway.

Thanks for the thumbs Cursed!

I like the contrast with the silver. I think it adds just that little bit that it needs.

It's not quite as loud in person as in the pics...at least it's different around this area (not that different is always good )

Thanks bro. After some of my "younger" Vette buddies looked at it, they said the same. It's really grown on me and it just looks wicked...think I'm sticking with it!

Trying to get a couple runs together so hopefully have some vid up soon. Nitrous kit is sitting in the closet...Sunday's the day (hopefully)!

Your vids are looking sweeeet!
