rims i know ur ready to put them on

 

Looking forward to the pics. Can you weigh the wheels to see what they come in at?

 

My boxes said 13 kg or 28.6lbs. That may have included the box though.

 

I like the C6's alot better.

 

nice wheels they look alot darker on the site. What is the back spacing on the 18X9.5? What size tires are you going to be running?

 

Good taste with both sets LastYearZ28

 

Ive got the Chrome ones on the way for my 35th Anniversary LE in 18 X 9.5. Ive got some custom center cap SS decals ( chrome center, red oultine) though through the Vynyl guy, i requested that Tom from TomZwheel send me the plain center caps. I should have mine soon too and Im running BFG KDW II's 275/35/18 Front 285/30/18 Rear on DMS springs and Koni S/A shocks...now to save for the Brakes......hmmm. Tires are here..just waitin' on wheels!

 

i have the exact body and color on my car and those look good ive been lookin for tires and wheels for almost a month now???

 

Update here guys https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...23#post4764123


grrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

Those look good!!!!!
I bought mine from Tom, mine are chrome C6 wheels... here's a pic:

 

souns to me as though the rims are reverse mount. in other words the rim has to face down when installing and uninstalling the tires. there is no special machine for breaking down low pro tires that i have ever seen. just a standard euro changer will do the trick. u seem to be getting the run around alot on this deal.

 

They are reverse mount, thats what i found out when I brought it to them. I am getting the run around and im totally pissed!! Tomorrow is the big day....we'll see!!!

Thanks for your input guys!!

 

Ok the owner said no problem order a new rim and bring me the slip. I am not going to fight about the tires because I bought the rim and tire package used so its unfair to blame them even if it was them.

Going to order 2 Nitto NT 555R's Extreme Performance in 285/35ZR-18 97W today with the new rim.

Here are the rears installed with the Falken 451's in 275/35/18 that will eventually go on the front when the new rim arrives and is replaced. The other 2 rims will be mounted with the new Nitto's and mounted out back.
Excuse the dirty car, I had it washed on Friday but the fuck3n birds and pollen have taken its toll already.







I like them, what do you guys think?

 

They look outstanding!

Some laquer thinner will takes the center cap emblems off if you wanted to. I took mine off right away.

 

Good call thank you. I will leave them on till I get them all mounted then takem them all off at the same time. The Laquer didnt hurt the finish at all...mine are painted dont forget.

 

The laquer thinner did not hurt mine. Mine are chromed plastic. I used rubbing alcohol on one and it took the emblem off but took much longer. Then I tried the laquer thinner and one wipe took it off. I suggest testing on a small area though.

There are some folks on Ebay who can make custom center cap emblems for you if you want. I had some made the exact size and color I wanted. If you want the sellers information please PM me. I went with a navy blue bow tie on mine. Not a perfect match but close enough that you don't notice.

Oh and you probably already know this but you can't really get the caps off the wheels when they are on the car without damaging them. They come of easily from the back of the wheel just push those plastic tabs lightly or they will snap. Wheels are great but the caps are crap.

 

Well... thanks for a pre-view. (I have almost the same car) Have been looking at these for mine. Although now, I have been thinking about the C6 Z06 wheels also. Can't make up my mind. Discisions....

Btw, do you have a Formula with T/A nose is it vica versa?

 

a little advice if you dont want the logos, my friend picked up some wheels for his car a while back and was cleaning some tar off of them with the mr. clean magic erasers, he rubbed lightly on the logo and that took it right off. may want to give them a shot. he just used one pad with a little water from a fresh bottled drinking water and took him maybe a minute for each wheel.

 

I have my logos coming from the Vinyl guy...attached is a pic of them, only mine are red outline with Chrome center. My wheels still aren't here ordered them 10 days ago and i see the eBay auctions still going for them..i'll be a little more patient, but am getting truly frustrated with sponsors who advertise items on sale that are not in stock or backordered. Seems to happen over and over again.
