What size wheel and tires are they? The tire looks a little streched on the rim for my taste. Any option for a wider tire before you use them?

Re: Finally Decided on Rims. Gotta have 18x10.5's in the back with some serious rubber on them. That's my preference anyway. Regardless, those wheels are <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

Re: Finally Decided on Rims. Thanks guys.
Everyone is right They are Mecham's from the gp. The finish on these rims is just awsome. They are really gonna make my car. I used to have a Z06's on it.
I did get the 18x10's for the back and I'm going to put the 315x30x18 BFG Drags or Nittos on them whenever they come out.
I'll post some pisc when I get them on the car.

Re: Finally Decided on Rims. Did you buy 2 more wheels or did you pay alittle more for the larger size in exchange? Also could you have gone with a little larger wheel than 10 like maybe 10 1/2 or do they not make it that size because I'm thinking what is a 1/2 in going to do for looks and performance. I was wondering what color your WS6 is and I can't wait to see what your car looks like with those wheels. I've got a NBM WS6 Thats why I'm asking.
