New wheels and tires. I kinda like them. What do you think?

My chrome C5 wheels turn heads when on this car and these seem to do the same.

Re: How do these look on my car?

That is a great car. The 3rd gens had the best blue ever. The wheels look great. Kinda partial to the 90-95 ZR-1 wheels myself.

I'm generally not a big fan of after market wheels on 3rd gens, but those look really nice on your blue 'vert.

Re: How do these look on my car?

They're not bad at all! I would have liked to see them be a little bit larger. Regardless of wheel size, the car needs to be lowered a bit. That'll really make the difference.

Re: How do these look on my car?

My exhaust drags now so no lowering. Might add a little more tire to fill the gap but these tires are new and will be used up.

Agreed. They're 245 40 17s on 17x9 rims but they're brand new and were a part of deal I made for the wheels. I can live with them for awhile before stepping up to a little taller and wider tire.

Re: How do these look on my car?

looks great, I had those exact rims on my car but not chrome. I would think you could use a taller tire though, then what you have. great looking car.
