Dear God, NOT ANOTHER SET OF ZR1s.

No offense to those who have/like them cuz its not like they look horrible, but everybody and their mother's father's sister's 3rd cousin's hamster has a set. The second ones you posted up would look pretty sick IMO.

How did I know somebody was gonna mention those......

They came with the car and they're getting replaced when I have the funds. However, for now they work and they have most of the tread left on the tires, which also came with the car. So even though I've not like the flakes since day 1, I really have no excuse to go spending money on wheels/tires when I have other work to do. For somebody who NEEDS new tires and wants to upgrade to wider ones I can understand why some would get replicas for the same reason I almost got some. they work and they can be had quite cheap. Not trying to offend anybody, I just feel TTIIs and vette rims are so overused it's disgusting. It's not that they look bad, hell I've wanted a few different types of vette rims as well as TTIIs at various points, but 90% of F-bodys have one of those 2. I'd go as far as to say that they might be more common than stock rims. /end hijack.
