They are 19 x 9.5 on the back and 18 x 8.5 up front. So yes they are 1" thinner than stock and 1" taller so my stock Z06 rims will be used for track day. but thanks for the compliments.

I think it's fine, I would get the lips chromed or high polished for the chrome look.

Not what I would have chosen, but still look good. Polishing that lip up like crazy would make it look a ton better.

they're from a nonsponor (which had good customer service but terrible shipping.... It took them 3 1/2 weeks til I recieved my rims) the price was cheap too.... $1,650 with everything (rims, tires, mounting, balancing, tax and shipping) If you want the name PM me.

I know do you have to rub it in.... I'm going to remove them and put some
red ZR-1 stripes (kind of like the Rons Fellows C6). Being original was why I bought these... hopefully I don't run into another yellow Z with these wheels
