rivets =
Never really a fan of the C6 Z06 wheels, but whatever makes you happy is all that matters. I say try the Spyders from 6L designs, you don't see them much.

i like the rivets b/c it breaks up the black between the rim and tire, sometimes all black w/o chrome lip or something looks cheap, i think...

17 x 9.5 up front with hankook 275's.

rears are 18 x 10.5 with nitto 555r's. 305-40-18. This is a 28" tire.

dont get rivets. They are ugly as **** when they are fake...

I am actually selling the wheels/tires. Looking to get $1400 shipped for them. front tires have 75% tred and the rears have 150 miles on them. I just paid $600 for both nitto's....

i like the rivets but get what you want. for 1400 you can buy the wheel set from oe with 295/35 on rear for 1400 shipped to your door.

Kidcamaro, you need some tire dressing, bad! Lol. Other than that looks good.

man tire shine ends up all down the side of my car whenever I do it, and its a pain in the *** to clean off.

Tire shine sucks! Try out Adams Super VRT! Awesome stuff. Doesn't sling and dries to the touch. No greasy look or feel to them. Leaves the tire nice and dark!

Looks expensive for just a 16 oz. bottle, but it goes a long way. It's one of my favorite Adams products.

hmmm no ****.

is there anything from advanced auto or napa that I could just walk in and get that doesnt sling everywhere?

Yeah, its call tire wet.
Goes on nice, shines up well and lasts.
Just spray it on then use a foam applicator to spread it around.
That way it won't fling off.
If you let it sit for an hour, it will not come off.
I use Westley's Bleche white 1st to clean the rubber.
It preps the tire real nice before you shine er up.

Not that I have found. All of the tire wets I've used, no matter how long I let them sit, still sling the first time you drive it. You might be able to wipe, or buff, the majority of the tire wet off of the tire to reduce the slinging, but still leaving your tires darker. Tire wet also doesn't last as long and is greasy and picks up dirt easily.

I have never tried the foam tire shine though, the kind you spray on and let sit. Not sure how it works, you might try that if you want, but ultimately I think you'll find that Adams Super VRT and Zaino's tire dressings are probably the 2 best on the market.

I have tried the tire shine foam and the tire shine stuff you put on with a squeegee. It seem's no matter how dry you make the tires after putting it on, it still ends up down the side of the car.

Just buy some of the Adam's. It's hands down the best stuff.

You may want to consider not running the Drag Radial in the front.
