I went to one of the many preformance shops by my house. This one happened to be on route 4 in fair lawn. I got a price of $1,500 for a set of Z06 rims in chrome 17X9 or 9.5 in the front and 18X10.5 in the rear. that price includes tires also mounted and balanced. All i have to do it get the adapters from http://www.skulte.com/adapters.html total for those are $300. so for $1,800 i got new rims. they also have layaway which is awesome. anyone think these would be a good addition to my car? and would i have a problem with the 18 inch rims in the back?

Just in case some of yous dont know what my car looks like. The color is also changing to the new vette medium spirial silver.

 

The Z06 wheels are nice.

 

Twiztid, where are you located, and do you by chance have the shops name, address and phone number? Im looking at z06's as well (but i want 2 17x9.5 and 2 17x8.5), and even looking online i havnt found a price that good with tires on them....

 

I live in Jersey about 15 mins from NYC. They did not make the Z06 rims in 17X8.5. the only size was 17X9.5. It would probably be a lil cheaper since your not gonna be getting the big meat in the rear. Here are the sizes the company sells. 17X9.5, 18X9.5, and 18X10.5. The name of the shop is Mobile Concepts On route 4 in Fair Lawn NJ. I did have their card but gave it to someone i work with. They wanted Half up front for me to put them on layaway. So in a couple weeks im going back with $750.

 

Sweet! Only problem I see is the changing of colors. I love the vette silver, but you paint looks freagin killer. That is the color I am thinking about. Either way, your car will look very nice.

Ill have to give them a call. They may not sell them but you can get them in 17x8.5... Actually, ive seen them in half inch increments starting a 8, going to 10.5....

But for that price id get the 9.5's all around, cuz its STILL better than the price i got, lol. Thanks for the info....

 

that picture does not do the paint justice. that was taken when the sun was setting and behind trees. Look at this one.

 

and this is taken at the sime time but a different angle. notice the change in color.

 

this one taken at the same time but a angle shot. the chrome illusion blends in well at some angles.

 

and to top it off this is what it looked like when i got it.

 

ahh. Now I understand. I cant believe how different it looks in the other pics. With those rims and NEW paint your car will kick some ***. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

hey chuck . . ..man you r such a show off ha

 

Hey watch it. Just wait till next summer when i stroll up to nanuette and ahv ethe LS1 in the car also. Then you can call me a show off.

 

So does anyone think ill have a problem with the 18's in the rear? I really want them in the rear and dont want 17's all around.

 

chuck, i think your gunna have a problem with Rons c*ck in your rear... hehehe Chuck man, get thoes rims! and get rid of the "rainbow" stripe.. hehehe.. Get them on before the Toms River meet.

 

well like i stated before they want 750 up front and then the rest. plus $300 for adaptors. its gonna take me a while since i have 2 months rent due and other bills.

 

twiztid, e mail me, soccermaster6@hotmail.com

if your getting new rims and are willing to sell the ones you have now i'm very interested!! just name your price and i'll go from there

(that is if your interested...)

 

I plan on keeping them for the winters cause there is a lot of salt and things to that nature on the road.

Does anyone know about the 18's if they would fit?

 

They will fit fine. I have seen 20s on thirdgens.
I think 18s look great on our cars, fills that huge *** wheel gap very well.
