Here are the better pics I promised. I also detailed the car with my new PC, you can see how that turned out.

I loooove these wheels.

Those look good, and your car looks pretty clean! The 40 series sidewall makes them look kinda like 17's again though, why'd you pick 40's?

Wheels look good, I like em. I put the same tire size on my 18" Z06's (their HTRZ IIs also), 40's are about 40-50 bucks cheapeer than 35's per tire, thats why I went with them.

I don't mind the look of the 17s, but I don't like how our cars look at stock height with the smaller O.D. rubber. I love how the wheelwell is filled out now.

how heavy are they? They look great, but the aftermarket wheels usually weigh a lot.

Yea, they're pretty heavy I believe. The boxes were 27 lbs or so. That's as much as a 17x11 Torq-Thrust. It's just one of those things that require trade-offs. It's no full-on race car, and they're the wheels I wanted in the size I wanted.

No, right now I don't have any that are straight-on, sorry. I do have a couple pics of the car that convinced me to buy them. Here's the link.

Wow, your car looks great !

I've been hoping these wheels would be made in 18's. I looked on e-bay, and found 1 seller offering these, but only in 9.5's. Do you know if they're available in 11's as well ?

off topic..... what camera/ lens are the pics taken with ? Those are some very nice shots.
