Default Any objections?

I just bought these new tires for my Firebird from a 2001 Z06. What do you guys think?




The Fronts are 265/17's and the Rear are 295/18's..

Look great but you need the center caps put on them. You can see your hub and they are rusty.... Distracts from the nice shiny chrome.

Thnkx Mysticbird01. I got them from a buddy who works in a HID shop in Maryland.. The fogs are about 8K and the headlights are 10K Slim Kit Lights. Theyre really clear and extra bright. I will be getting rid of my Fog Lights cause i want 10K ones with a 4.5" housing. I can give them to you once i change them in a few weeks.

You paid 8k for fog lights and 10k for headlights?!?!

I keed, I keed. The wheels look great on your car, I agree with the other guys that center caps and painting the brakes would make it look better tho.
