i do love the look of them. oddly enough, i was messing around in Paint earlier and put C5 rims on my vette.

Do mine, Do mine!

Proportionately I would say those are 16 or something, eh? That looks bad ass though! I have about an inch of space between the flare and the tire so they would def look even sweeter w/ real 18's and thats exactly why I really wanting to do that. The cost is whats holding me back.

seriously good thread here>> http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36435&highlight=tires

THE RIMS>> $829+80(ship) = $910 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43957&item=2440813382

Tires>> ($126*2)F+($171*2)R = $600 w/o taxes
I chose the Kumhos

Adapters>> estimated @ $300

Grand Total = $1,810!!! Thats minus the taxes, putting the rims on the wheels, balancing, and road hazard coverage.

I have brand new BFG's on her right now that I could probably get for a good trade in but its still going to hurt! Its all for the love of the Vette though!

kind of a weak idea, but alot less money than new front suspension and rear t/a's.........

not even close to as strong and would look a little odd with the caliper sitting 2 inches away from the wheel, but hey....... y2k wheels........
