Default New CCW SP500s!

I was randomly searching Craigslist, hoping by chance my dream wheels would be for sale. I had little hope and I rarely check it but low and behold I found a set for a spectacular price. I couldn't pass it up and picked them up this past weekend.

CCW SP500s
Fronts are 18x10 - 275/35/18
Rears are 19x11.5 - 305/30/19

They're mounted on Nitto Invos - rears will need to get replaced next year and I'll be throwing a pair of RE-11's on 'em when the time comes

Oh! I don't know how many posts it takes to make a FS thread, but I do have a set of speedlines with nearly new Michelin Pilot Sports that would sure look damn sexy on a Camaro/Firebird/TA. Linky is here (if this is not acceptable per forum rules I will remove): http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-p...ot-sports.html

On with the pics:

Depending on what your plans are, FRC's are a great car, but I do enjoy the higher-revving, higher hp LS6. The HUD is great too. I appreciate the compliment!

The 01-04 Z06 cars are FRCs also. Toss a cam and springs in the LS1 FRC and you can have even more fun than the LS6.

Obviously, but they're never referred to as FRC's. They're designated the way they are for a reason. We're not playing the 'add mods and it'll be more fun than X stock car' game either...
