I paid about $1700 for mine with billet adapters, and 275x40x18 kuhmo's supra 712's. I picked these wheels because I love the look, no one else had them that I could find, and I'll never own a C6 Z06 but this makes me feel like I kinda own one

Just a thought!
Now that I'd like to see.. anyone got a pic?

EDIT: Phyte - Those look hot, Good choice!!

I wanted black rims and thought these look the best.

I don't have any pics of that car, but I did look in my pile of PHRM, and found that it is the December 2004 issue. I tried a really quick search... If I come up with any I will pass them along!!

my rims were 1200 a set. bought it because i saw a pic of another trans am (on this board) with the same rims and i fell in love with them. Went to the wheel shop and found out they don't make the right offsets for thirdgens so they had to make custom offsets.

Paid 400 for rims and tires. They are 15x9 rear and 15x4 front. I got them because they were a good deal when i was looking for rims.

$150 off craigslist.

I bought them so I could slap on the c5 brakes. Not too keen on the style. They look better in person than photos. I've actually never liked these wheels. haha



Rears 295/35-18
Fronts 255/40-17 (I think?)
