the shop i ordered them at, the price for tires would have sky rocketed if i got 18's from them, and i got a discount ont he rims cus i got the tires with it, so i kinda just skimped out and saved some money. Btw i just noticed my head lights look yellow in those pics :S donno why, might have been glare, they are clean tho. lmao befor some one says "clean them lights!" haha

Not to rude but you could of got some nice wheels for $1,100. I love Y2k wheels, but you need at least 18s on rear. I see those going for $800-$1300 all the time in 18s

well thats where personal opinion comes to play, all i see around here are zr1 rims/z06 rims, no thanks, ill take the y2k's, now if i wanted to dish out alot of money i can see getting a nice set of i-forged etc, but im over-happy with these.
And to the other comments: Thanks, yea when ever i find time to dust off the digi cam ill take some good pics, I hate how cameras don't do mystic teal cars justice tho

These wheels are not bad at all i like them, but they just look weird in 17's all the way around. You could of got some 18s for that much from a ls1tech sponsor. You could of even went 17s on front 18s rear and look alot better, but now you could always upgrade to 18s in rear and keep the 2 extra 17s for some drig tires
I think your wheels look sweet. The yellowish lookin headlights are one of the first things i noticed tho... lol... I understand what you mean about prices skyrocketing for 18's too. I wanted to get 18x10.5 wheels for the rear wit 295's. Prices for tires are what made me stick with 17's all around...
Looks nice. I just got the same wheels put on my car. Should have pics put up in a few days. Mine are the GM stamped polished ones though. Yours look like the chrome aftermarket version, am I correct?
I got a great deal on mine. $400+shipping w/tires. 18's w/Nitto 555's on the rear & 17's w/coopers on the front.
