Default New wheels - Gunmetal ZR1's!

Picked up a set of wheels and new tires last weekend.

Here are a few pictures, the car is dirty, this is after a 8 hour round trip to Houston.

Let me know what you think =)

17x9 with a 275/40/17 tire
17x11 with a 315/40/17 tire
Stock ride height
Rears have spacers, gotta BFH a bit and maybe I'll be able to take them off, they stick out just a bit much for me.
Lowering is coming next!

Hey:

Do the hose mod, if you haven't tried it yet to give you an idea of how it would sit in the rear. Its free and tells you how low you can tolerate.

Tite wheels. Im looking a the chrome ones myself. I had some 17/18 dd c5 black with machined lip. I didnt like the dullness so I sold them. Any ideal on the weight differ between the 18x10.5 and the 17x11 anyone?

Hahahahaa, ouch man =P

I will probably pick up some lower mile springs/shocks and go from there.

I think I will be happy with just the hose mod in the rear, but the front needs to come down too. Is there anything I can do there without cutting a coil or going to a lowering spring?

That way I can find the ride height I want/need for DDing and then spend some real money on the right setup.
