I could've saved a lot by not going so outrageous on the rear tires. Also, Tirerack may still have their deal on 295/35/18 Goodyear GS-D3's for $163/tire, if you really want 18's.
where did you find your oewheels 18x10.5 c5 deep dishes for $600???

i just paid $722 for 4 shipped!!

BTW, if anyone knows a sponsor on this site that has a decent deal on these setups, let me know. I'd rather support a sight sponsor.

be careful, you have ordered drag radials for front and rear tires.

check out the goodyear gs-d3s for all 4 corners, you will love the traction. had them in 275/40-17s on chrome 10 spokes, and just ordered a set of them in 295/35-18s for my new c5 deep dishes.

be careful with 315s with the stock 10 bolt. you might want to plan on a new rear end with that much grip!!!

Which ones did you get? I'm assuming you got polished, or chrome, which are more expensive. Mine are the machined face ones. I got them straight from OEWheels, back in July.

315's don't have anything to do with it. Its all about tire compound.

I could find you 315 tires (Sumitumo's) that you could spin from 40mph rolls in your bolt on car.
