Check Tire Rack. If you get the 17" 18" wheel combo, they have a set of Firestone tires for it that are pretty reasonable ($140ea front, $160ea rear).

Just pick "2000 Corvette" as the vehicle, and select "tires".

Holy clean car Batman! What size tires do you have on there? 275/35?

And, to answer the question at the start of the thread, I'd say the ZR-1s or gunmetal Z06s.

I say Z06s. I think the y2ks are alright i guess, zo6s look more eye catching.

If you want to run and 11" wheel with 315's then go for the Zr1's. IMO i like the staggered look of 17" in front and 18" in the rear (Z06).

Thats my plan but not set in stone. I want wider tires in the back than the front and possably a 17/18 combo. I have stock 17's with 275's right now.

i considered the black/blue theme... but i think i would get tired of that look after a while, and the way i look at it... cant go wrong with chrome, specially on a dark car, just looks sweet and it will always look good/be in style.
