Yeah, the tires are 275/35R18, and they're too narrow for 10.5" wheels. They take a 295 to 315 normally. These tires were free, so I'm using them until I decide what size to use.

TT2's with the "spokes" painted black looks good. I have a picture off of another site, I just can't figure out how to post it. The lip and the center cap is still polished aluminum. I like it so much I'm thinking about doing it to my rims. If you want the picture, I can e-mail it.

They are 18 x 9's but I don't know the brand. I got them cheap ($400 shipped for the set) on eBay. I'm afraid to say this, but I think they are Saleen replicas.

I just got my black Z06 rims with chrome lips from Tomzwheels for $569 shipped to my door. My black Z28 turned out pimp with these rims, we lowered it in the rear about 1&1/2 and an inch in the front. Black on black is bad but thats my opinion.

why does everybody like a chrome or polished lip on black wheels? They look so much meaner when they are all black, including the center cap.
