Default New shoes - C6 replicas on NBM Formula

Got my new wheels installed this week, so I wanted to share. They are OE Wheels-brand C6 replicas in silver, 17" x 9.5". It's hard to tell in the pics, but the lips are polished. The tires are Nexen N3000 in 275/40ZR17. My initial impression of the tires is very, very good, but I'll post a more in-depth review as I get more miles on them. So far, road noise is MUCH lower and they grab much better than my Fuzion ZR-i's did - they seem like a damn good value for the fairly low price (under $500 mounted and balanced).

Nice! I've been wondering how those wheels would look on a NBM Formula...now I know!

Great pics!

I think the 500 was just for the tires. I've looked at those wheels on Ebay, they go for around 400/set.

I didn't like C6 wheels on our cars at first, but they have been growing on me. And I usually don't like silver wheels, but yours look great. Your set-up looks really good.
