Default Chopped With Big'n'Littles

I'm about to get rid of my Z06 bling and was thinking about some drag wheels, namely because tires for the 18" rears are ridiculous. Got to choppin' and here's what I came up with. I'm really digging the 17" stars up front with regulars out back. When she's earned a hood, it'll either be cowl induction or a 3" SS.

As she sits



Widdle rims



Add a tumor



Slam it, tall wheels up front, and black out the grill



Gotta have a dream, right?

I thought I'd be happy with fifteens up front until my brother said it'd look better with seventeens. I'd seen it done on a few cars and always liked that look.

Problem is, where the hell do you find them? I haven't checked the new Greg Welds, but maybe they're there. Wish they never quit making these!


Thanks for the comments, fellas.



Oh, and 94? I'm probably going to let them go for $500. Front tires have plenty tread and the backs will need some in a few months. Honestly, I don't know if I want to mess with shipping though..

You can custom order 17 inch front alumistars from weld. It's big in the supra community right now, and I've been really wanting to see them on a camaro. Here's a pic of them on a supra just for reference.
