C6 Z06's are on! Pics!

Well thanks again to everyone who offered advice, recommendations and most importantly pics considering how few good ones there were out there while I was trying to choose some wheels. Especially Mike and funnelone. Also, to anyone looking for wheels, Luke and Troy from Discount Tire Direct couldn't have been more helpful. Competitive price, prompt shipping, answered all my questions, and returned PM's and calls often in a matter of minutes. I think everything came out great...lemme know what you think. The rims are 18x9.5 with a +40 offset, wrapped in BFG Sport 275/35/18. No fitment issues at all, on factory suspension.

Totally.....that's my only gripe about the whole situation...I have no choice but to lower it now and really hadn't seen the need previously, especially on a Y3F car. I also really outta get some nicer rotors too, although I painted the calipers Hugger Orange as part of the deal considering how much brake is showing now. But a huge upgrade over 16" snowflakes nonetheless....

Nooo.....had it about a year and a half. I post at a few Camaro forums (some less scrupulous than this one

) and I knew with so few cars having these and a lot of guys thinking about getting them, these are bound to end up all over the Internet. So I wanted to keep my license plate out of them, but not just take them off and have an empty spot or have an obvious blurry Photoshop job ruining them either. Just popped the dealer plates on for the pics....

Thanks for the compliments....it definately needs a slight drop when time and money allow. But I agree they work better than average on a ground effects car...

Yeah, I'm sure he is taking that clean *** car mud bogin. Maybe someone else can make one more stupid *** comment about his ride height even though he has already said he is getting springs.

Now that I got that out of the way. The car looks saaweeet!!
