Default Just Got C6 Z06 Wheels & GS-D3's
I don't have them installed yet (will post pix when they are!), but I just got my new C6 Z06 rims (Chrome 18x9.5) and 275/35-YR18 GS-D3's for my 97 LT1 B4C. I think it's going to be an awesome setup.

I'll also (finally) have room to install my C5 Z06 front brakes and my car should be looking pretty sharp.

Yeah, I know I need to lower it, get a new wing/hood/susp/etc..., but one major hit to the budget at a time guys!

Well guys, here's a first glimpse taken before the Z06 brakes went on. (She's had a long hard life so give her a break.) Next up is lowering springs and some body work. I just wanted to get some pics on here for everyone...

I'm pretty sure it's you. I did reduce the pix to fit within the 100K site limit, though.

Just for reference in case anyone cares...

New 275/35ZR18 GS-D3 Tires: 29lbs/wheel
New 18x9.5" C6 Z06 Rims: 25lbs/wheel

Old Stock 16" Setup: 44lbs/wheel

Weight Increase: 10lbs/wheel (that's a lot, but lighter than some 17/18")

Beautiful!

By the way how much did they cost you? On CorvetteGarage they're selling for 1,195.

I tried to find them through our sponsors but couldn't get them yet--too new! I found them on eBay under $1K shipped. They don't have anything but chrome yet.

I was undecided as of yet if I wanted C6 Z06 or another type of wheel, I thought these would look good but I guess I'm wrong, they just don't fit... maybe if it were lowered, I dont know. Much better than Stock I'd say for sure!
