Thanks man. Yea stop by anytime. I just tossed them on for now. Haven't really decided on ditching the caps and paint the rear caliper that shows through the wheel yet.

For the guy who wanted to know, I'm running MT sports front 26X7.50-15LT 8 PLY. The tire doesn't ride the best. It's made to go in a straight line and thats it. The tire is kinda warped or something so the front end shakes a bit. I was told to buy some really small vaults wagon tires to run up front. Oh well.

looks good. i was gonna do this with my prostars over this winter coming up. I'm running a nankang 165/80/15 tire up front. they were 48 bucks a piece. speed rated up to 118. That doesn't bother me though, I don't speed on open roads, and I don't trap more than 118 in the quarter yet, so I'm not worried.

I don't have a decent scale at home that will tell me anything. You can look in the weight reduction sticky in the drag racing tech area. Back spacing is 5.5 on the back.

I didn't weigh the wheels seperately, but a 185/60/15 and the 15x4 wheels were 10lbs lighter then my stock twisty 16x8 fronts with 225/50/16 tires. The rear 15x8's with BFG 275/60/15 DR's were 3lbs lighter then 16x8 twistys with 255/50/16 MT dr's. They aren't super light but they were cheap, and look much better then my stock wheels. So an easy 26lbs of rotational mass off the car.

The black wheels look great, im actually in the process in doing the same thing on my silver car. I dont want a super glossy powder, and haven't found the exact color i want yet however.

Thanks guys. But I gotta warn ya. It is a lot of black! I love the way it looks but I am glad I kept my z06 wheels with the chrome lip. It's good to toss these all black summit stars on on the weekend to attract some races...+1 the extra weight that is off
