Sweet Wheels
Those look great on a Black car, I've seen two now with those and both Z's were Black
Im plannin on grabbin four of those babies for my Teal ride, except im gonna do the 18x9.5 front 18.10.5 rears
I think they'd look alittle better on a Teal or Electric Blue car due to the contrasting colors. And with a Black painted cowl of a Stinger hood, Gloss Black Berger Rear Valance to finish off my look
Just out of curiosity, how much did you get each one for? I got a website that sells them for $214shipped for the 18s (each)!!!Thats hella good deal since most sites have them for around 320-360 each!
Only problem, I cant find the 285s for the fronts and 305s for the rears that I want (specially that wont cost me both arms and legs to buy)
Good choice man, I like em..lets see the drop and a contrasting color on the calipers or emblems..and you got a friggin sweet ride
(yeah..and edit that webpage..its camAro
)

Yeah, the wheels were on the high side, those are KDW as well, not cheep! Just got my brackets for the front brakes, so soon the brakes will look as good.
As for the spelling, oops, should have proof read!
New pics will come in as needed.

I just bought a set of those not too long ago from Discount Tire Direct. They only have them in 17x9.5 and a 18x10.5 size. I went with the 17x9.5s all around with a 275/40 kuhmo. I was going for cheap and got em cheap. $1170 for the set (tires mounted and balanced) wholesale's a great thing. They're still cheap on the website retail. I had to wait a couple weeks to get them here, but it looks like they've got good stock on them now for anyone who's interested. They look killer on my white formula, I'll have pics posted soon.
Here's the link to the 17's...

SURE, now I see you guy telling me abou this CO. I paid $1199 plus $935 for the tires! That is why I went with the 17", b/c of cost. If I found them at that price, I would have gotten the 18". BTW, this is the 2nd post tonight on this CO.!

Yeah...that does suck man. You paid a fortune! These wheels aren't that popular yet...you could take them off your car and sell them to some idiot and make near all of your money back I'm sure. Then you could turn around and go get the 18s. I saw a guy that put them on a car alot like yours that actually works for Discount Tire Direct. He put them on a black ls1 ss and they looked pretty nice. I wanted to get the 18's too, but my car's on sportlines and I didn't know if it would clear everything or not so I played it safe (not to mention cheaper tires). I know you have to bang the inner fender well in the rear and run a spacer in the front to keep away from stuff. To me over 10" in a front wheel is just a little TOO wide. It BARELY tucked in some pics that I saw, almost goofy looking with a prokit.

Look ok, I know they are not 18" or 20", but they still make the car. Like I said, springs will be on soon. Let us remember, I will be USING these rims and tires for autox events, not just show!
