Default New ZR1`s are on.

Thanks Tomz Wheels, they were here early, and in perfect condition. Big improvement over stock rims.

No, they are 9.5, they filled the rear fender area better than what I thought they would.

They are stock springs with the Koni`s and the heater hose/lower perch mod. I would guess 3/4 `` drop.

Looks great! Those are the same wheels that I'm getting. Could you post some pics from behind and some other close up shots if you don't mind? I'm also getting 17x9.5s and I'm curious as to how they look from the rear. What size tires are you runnin, 275/285?

Edit* Before I forget, which ZR1s from Tomswheels are they? O.E. Concepts? Top Line? or the Factory Reproductions?

Call me crazy, but I think base hood cars look great with just wheels, they just have to be the 'right' ones (no I'm not just being biased because I don't have a RA hood, its just not on my priorities list) Car looks very good!

I will be tied up with work until Sat., I`ll get some pics out then. The wheels are OE Concepts, and the tires are 275-40-17 BFG-KDW. The wheels appear to be high quality, time will tell. I was suprised how nice the rear fenders were filled, but remember I was coming from the stock 16 wheels. The 17x11`s out back do look badass on some cars, but Im satisfied with what I have. Sat. evening Ill post up the pics.

Cool thanks. Yeah I'm still on the stock 16s myself and can't wait to get my ZR1s.
