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.
