Default New wheels! What do you think?

Just thought I would post a few pics of the Polished ZR1's to see what you all think. I went with 17x11 R 17x9.5 F. Got the Sumitumo 315's from Tirerack (what a deal). May even buy another set as I hear they dont wear long. Give me some feedback if you want. Thanks!

Looks good, but would look better if it was lowered.

Looks good. Drop it down a little and it'll be tight. I got the Sumitomo's too. Killer price, even if they wear a little faster.

Did you all get the Sumitomo's just based on price or b/c they hook decently as well (which I would assume the quick wear is attributed to)?

Mine hook ok I guess. I've only tried to spin them twice and they did as good as my Fuzion's did. I've ran them before and got decent miles out of them.

Sumitomos SUCK. I'm so glad to be getting rid of mine.

Thanks for all the replies people!! I know alot have said to lower it but I am not sure I really want to do that. I really dont want to give up any clearance
and have problems. I my do more exhaust work later I dont know. I bought the Sumitumo's because of price although I so far think they are pretty good.
Drove a couple hours in the rain on I75 and they seemed pretty good. I know there are better tires but I still think the bang for buck is there.
