Default New Rims & Pics

Hey guys let me know what you think. I am going to be putting chrome center caps on them. From what I understand these are ZR1 style but only 16". I think these were only on convertables. I hand sanded these and painted them myself.

EXACTLY!! I bought the car used w/ TSWs'. They were 275/ 40/ 17's and for some reason the rear 2 alwayas went bald . Started to get a little expensive. Besides I hated those rims and I believe it rides better now!

Thanks for all the compliments.
