Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

ok, i'll ask all the usual questions, 1= how much? 2= do you plan on lowering it at all? 3= what size spacers? looks like you need a new camera or a really good buff. car looks great but should be shinier in the pics????

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

They look right at home on there. A good trick to doing a photo shoot on a driveway it to wet it down with water and then pull the car onto it.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

Nice setup. By any chance, do you have a pic of a side view that shows both sidewalls. I'm going with 17s and 18s myself and was thinking of going with 295/35s in the rear.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

TT84Z5SPD, looks awesome! Car looks identical to mine minus the new wheels. I always wondered what my car would look like with black Z06 rims, now I know. My all time favourite rim would be the 17x11 ZR1. What size spacers did you use again?

Hey thanks man!! But looking at your F-Quick shows me yours looks better. You have the hood I want!! The spacers are 2.25 inch on all 4.

You have to use wheel spacers. I got mine from Skulte performance. They also have an awesome wheel fitment chart!!! Check it out... http://www.skulte.com/

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

I'm selling my cowl hood actually Been hassled by the cops too much so I went back to a stock 91-92 Z28 hood with functional blisters. I sold off my GTA rims to one of my buddies and I'm currently running stock double line IROC's. I wouldn't mind a set of Z06's now.

Do you have pics of what you grinded down ? I have the C5 wagon wheels that you previously had on mine right now, and have some grind issues.

All I did was grind the very outer most part of the outer tie rods where my wheel weights were hitting. Not much to grind at all. but when I had the wagon wheels on, this was not an issue. I think the Motorsports are actuall a little bit thicker metal on the inside of the wheel...I dont have any pics of this sorry.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports

The holes are cut out of the blisters, they act like a heat extractor. Air passes over the hood and sucks the hot air under the hood right out of there. Nothings painted yet but heres a few pics.



I'm selling the cowl for $385CDN obo. It's a Harwood show series 4" cowl.

Are those klearz on your car?

Also, do you really have 2.77 gears with a T56? My 3.27's feel so tall with my T-56, I can't imagine the 2.77's...
