Thumbs up Pictures of my Camaro with Bogarts!

I just got them on! It took about 3 months to make the wheels. The fronts are 17x9.5 with a 275/40/17 and the rears are 17x11 with a 315/35/17.

Nice wheels man. How are the traction with the Sumitomos? I have some 17x11 ZR1s on the way and I'm trying to decide between those and Nitto Drag radials. All the other 315s are way too pricey. Thanks.....Later

Traction is not that great, but I bought them to drive on them, not to race on em. Good tire though.

When you say traction isn't that great do you mean compared to a Drag radial or do you mean compared to other normal Z rated street tire? Thanks again.

Compared to a drag radial. If I wanted traction I would put some slicks on.
