Are those the new-ish Nitto tires on the back?

Great looking wheels! Not a fan of the white, but sexy nonetheless.

Very, very nice looking. Any suggestions on a decent looking wheel for ours? These stockers are killing me.

They're pretty bad.

I've yet to find a wheel that I really like on the car, but have only seen a few options. Starting to think that anything is better than what's on it. Could spend a bit on some if they were decent, the one's I found before were like $1,000 a wheel, not too bad I guess.

I would have went chrome or polished but that does look good! Not my cup of tea but it is sexy on your car.

What? 6 spoke is perfect, vipers are 6-lug cars.

I just put some 305/30/19's on my Vette. They work a ton better than the stock run craps. They are definately better than the KDW2's. I would compare them to the Michelin PS2's. I am happy with them.

BTW, the car looks great Tony. Nice to see something different out there. Good choice!
