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

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

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

 

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.

 

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.
