Christmas came early for me this year!
Attachment 6700

Falken FK452's on "OEM" (replica) Z06 wheels.

These are 17" on all 4 corners, 8.5" on front, 9.5" on back.
245/40/17 - F
275/40/17 - R

Before:

After:

I should note that these replicas are NOT light...

I went from 45.2lbs each on the front:
Attachment 6703

to 48.00 on the front and
Attachment 6704

a whopping 53.45 lbs on the rears.

These are 1 inch bigger in diameter, but that is still a hefty weight gain.

I'm thinking lowering springs are in order over the winter too...

What do you guys think? I like the black on black, but I'd like to hear other opinions too...

The gap in the front is larger than is was before, because the front tires are 1" smaller diameter than the stock tires (assuming the stock tires were 245/50-16). That opens the gap up. A 245/45-17 would have minimized that issue.

This one shows them in a bit more light. I am thinking they might need to go gloss black...I will give it a few more days to see if the satin/flat black look grows on me....
