Wagon wheels on the bird...

Digital camera decided it didn't want to focus anymore so these shots are from my cell phone.





The rears are 295/35-18. So freaking huge and awesome. I love how large they are. The tread itself just looks massive from the rear of the car. The picture doesn't do it justice...

Those aren't the style wheels I originally wanted but I picked them up for $150 off craigslist which makes them worth it even if it's just to fit the c5 brakes now.

Good price, did it come with tires too?
I had those wheels on my car for a little while but grew tired of them rather quickly.

I never really liked these wheels before I slapped them on because I always thought they looked real bad on the vettes. But I kinda like them on here.

I'm real glad they don't stick passed the fenders anymore.

I fricken HATE chrome.

The phones a razr. :shrug: The wheels themselves are 9.5" wide so I'd assume the treadwidth is 10.5-11" or so. Adapters were $65 for a pair a couple years ago. I can't decided whether I want to keep these gfx or swap to the 85-90 style.

i was saying no gfx at all like in the thread i made in the convertables section. so that was kind of a joke. keep that 91 nose though. they look so awesome as verts.

when can we expect more pics? im dying here. take more pics of the back end too, with the top down
