Default Black C6 Z06 Motorsports on my car

Finally got my new wheels this year. Time for tires so I also upgraded the wheels. I went with 18's to fit the C6 Z06 brakes that have been sitting on the workbench waiting for the wheels. Fronts are 18x9.5 and rears are 18x10.5. Tires are 275/35 and 295/35 BFG KDW2's. I think these look great on my car!!!

I just got the rears on tonight and lost daylight. So I will have to take some more daytime pics later for everyone. Rears required some BFH massaging to fit.

Thank you. I am really digging the new look too. I had chrome wheels since I bought it new. This really changes the look of the car. And follows with my orange and black theme. Carried that through the engine bay too!

That is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen. Car-wise.

Hey those look good, I'm not to keen on the little silver pins around the lip though. Got any more pics or info about the c6 brake upgrade?

Not really (but there will be plenty more when I do the swap). I have the corvette brake adapter brackets and the big brakes bolt right up to those. That one pic with the brake in the wheel is with the brake set-up mocked up on a f-body knuckle I had. Still had some clearance issues to the spokes though. So I might still need a spacer on the fronts when I do the brake conversion. And I think I need corvette flexible hoses as they are longer than the f-body ones to connect to the calipers. That will happen later. I just want to drive my car for now. It's been down for the last month getting my turbo's installed. Should be tuned and driving by this weekend. So I can finally enjoy it next week!!! Woohoo!!!!

Yeah I am considering that too. We'll see. Just trying to get the car back on the road first. Then I can play with some more appearance items.

I know the rears are +58mm and I had to do some BFH work and trim the bumpstops. Not sure on the fronts. I will see if it is listed on the boxes. Gotta clean the garage tonight anyway.
