New 18's - What do you think?

Just put on my new 18" ZR1's. Still working on center caps and lug nut covers.

Have a look look - http://groups.msn.com/GMsFbody/30thz28.msnw?Page=2

I like them - I was against changing wheels on this car, but I could not stand the 16's any more, so I think this is a good solution to retain the stock look while going for a more modern style at the same time.

I know it currrently looks like a monster truck (I went with 275/40's becasue I didn't want 35 series rubber bands) so I gained about 3/4" overall height. I do have my Hotchkis springs sitting in my garage waiting to install for a 1" drop.

very classy !! gets my vote :thumb:

Nice that looks really good I love those models. I like how you retained the stock look being still white. Man I really love that car.

I usually don't care for 18's but that looks really good. :yes:

looks great...

I've been thinking about some black ZR1's myself...

Looks crazy!

They look great, where are you going to get the center caps from??

Thanks for the comments - I have the center caps, its just that they came silver instead of white - so I painted the outside white and left a bit of silver around the Corvette flags. I was thinking of the white SS center caps, but I don't want to make it look like I am trying to fool people into thinking it is an SS.

looks great man.

Well, since the board is pretty dead, I will throw this update out there.

I put my new Hotchkis kit in - new 1" drop springs, new front and rear swaybars, new lower control arms, new panhard rod, and new strut tower brace.

Now the 18's look proper - and to all those who say 275/40/18's don't work, I would tend to disagree - 273/35/18's do retain stock overall diameter, but I think these 274/40/18's fill up the wheel wells very nice.
