Possibly but it just looks like a poor quality photo to me.

i like it, being you have a red car as i do, how long before you put the on the car? i might do the same.
also, are those 17x11s? they have a lip on them which looks good. can you steer me in the direction to get the same style zr1?

I'll have pics posted tomorrow evening. Those 2 are the 17x11's. I purchased 4 wheels in a staggered setup.

The wheels are made by O.E. Concepts. I signed up as a vendor for them but I see others selling the same wheels. They are black with a polished lip. Check the thread tomorrow night for pics.

Well it took me a bit longer than I anticipated, but here are some shots from this morning.







I did some hammering on the inner fender well, but not much. The worst part was the bump stops. I re-drilled the aluminum bracket to better center the stop, but it's still in the way. I'm able to put the wheels on loosely, drop the car on the ground to compress the shocks/springs, and then tighten them. No fender rubbing so far! I haven't pushed her too hard. I'm looking into other bumpstops to rectify the situation.

The car handles SIGNIFICANTLY better. Here's a list of what else was done last night:

KYB AGX struts
UMI on-car Adjustable panhard
UMI adjustable tunnel mounted torque arm.

I still need to adjust the torque arm, but the car is a completely different animal. No wheel hop, no sloppyness, trans shifts MUCH smoother. I can't believe the difference.

The stripe is subtle, not flashy...thumbs up.

Did it myself. Got some 1/8 " pinstripe from Strauss auto. I think I'm going to order 1/4" because it's not a vibrant as the z06's pictured.

Next mod: CETA!
