budget isn't really an issue. I'll just save for awhile if I have to, as long as I get what I really want and don't have to settle. does anyone have pics of any of those wheels mentioned?

Well, here's ZR1's, but I am sure you already know what they look like.

I don't mind...$1420 shipped. 9.5's up front and 11's out back. I can't find anyone else who has them so it was worth it to me. Got em from Discount Tire, they don't list them but if you call and ask they can get them. I tried to use Pro Dyno since they are a sponsor but I emailed and didn't get any response. I hope we get Dis.Tire as a sponsor soon. I will have pics as soon as they come in.
