Default 18x9.5 Black Z06 Spyders

Finally, after two years of being parked. I'm on the road again. 18x9.5 56mm offset on 285 35 R18 Continental ContiProContacts.

Strano Springs are next!

I found 4 of these in grey 18x9.5 57mm with 90% tread on them for $400 on Craigslist. Just got back driving 9.5hrs each way to pick them up. This thread convinced me it would be worth it and a few older ones.

Very nice! I'm rocking the regular polished C6Z wheels on my black SS but I did how the Spyder wheels look also. Not having to deal with the big center caps with the Spyder wheels is also very cool.

Spyders are probably the best looking corvette wheel ever made... First favorite to me would be the Centennial Cup Corvette wheels.
