Yay new rims

wassup all
i finally got my new rims, i succumbed and chose not to get 20s and instead chose the fairly conservative 17s (price was the ultimate deciding factor). Anyway if you guys wanna take a look, i picked some Niche Spitfires because I wanted something alil different but still subtle. I dont got time right now to figure out how to post pics so here is my car domain site
Enjoy

Re: Yay new rims

IMO, that wheel doesnt belong on an f body. To each his own though.

Isn't the stock size 245? Most people are running 275s.

Re: Yay new rims

Stock tires from the factory on the Z28 were 235/55-16 on 16x8" wheels. Many were upgraded from the factory with RPO "QLC" for the Z-rated 245/50-16 tires. Never saw a 225 from the factory on a V8 model.

The SS and WS6 coupes used 17x9" wheels with 275/40-17 tires.

If you were aiming for subtle, I think you failed miserably. That's way to "bling" to be anything close to subtle.
