I think it looks great. BTW, what do you think of the tires? I just got those same tires in a 225-50-17 for my wife's Sonata. They were crazy cheap, hopefully they are a decent tire.
Where did you get the polished Z06 wheels from? They should be a bit lighter than then chromes.

the tires are pretty good, they have all the same ratings as my 245/55/16 kumho ecstas did but there's alot more traction with the wider nexens. My Z28 only has the SLP cold air package (lid, bellows, blackwing filter, stainless fitting to pull air from in front of the radiator). When i had the 245's on i could spin through first gear (A4) and spin a little into 2nd WOP. My tranny is slipping a little now in between gears but these 275's held through 5000 rpms in first today between 3/4 throttle and wide open. Thanks for the comments guys! Also I picked up the wheels from Mike on these forums, thanks Mike! They polished out real nice. I used one of those polishing ***** that turtle wax makes, you just put it on a drill, get some mother's aluminum polish and voila. I also used some turtle wax rubbing compound and polish on some of the spots that needed a bit more attention and it worked great. There's just some spots like between the spokes and the lip that needed to be done by hand but it wasn't any problem. Handling has definitely improved a bit over the taller tires I had on the car with stock wheels.
