I got some new wheels and tires for my '01 tripleblack.

The wheels are SSR GT3 3 piece 19x11 rear and 18x9.5 in the front.
The lips are polished and clearcoated.

They are the satin finish vs a polished finish available for this wheel. The pics don't do them justice. They are very well made made and beautiful!
The ride feels much better too.
I had Yokohama AVS runflats on previously.

The tires are BF Goodrich G-Force 265/35/18 front and 295/35/19 rear.

I bought the whole package from Damon at Tire Rack.
Damon's extension is 643. Here's to ya, buddy!:beer
Total class act. Very professional and prompt responding to messages.

Hope you enjoy the pics

Tripleblack! The wheels look outstanding, and so does the Corvette. VERY nice!

Pedro,

Those look VERY fine. :cool
There are some new tires in my not-so-distant future.
I'd like to hear your impressions of the tires after a few thousand miles. Please come back and post an update.

Perhaps you could compare them to the ride you get from the SuperCar tires on your wife's Z06?

Tripleblack, Have you done some suspension mods or is it just the extra inch on the wheels that fills the wheel wells????

Will do Tammy.. wait that means I'll have to drive both of them.
Hmmm...ok!:D

I will say that the BF G_Force tires are quieter than the Yokos I had before.
A this point that the feel is very similar.
My roadster has the Z51 suspension. More driving time will tell.

Roadking, my car was lowered a couple of years ago before the new wheels , but the extra inch front and back makes it appear even lower.
I couldn't be more pleased.

Best regards,
Pedro
 
Very Nice!

Pedro,

Drilled rotors, painted calipers, rivets and high polish on the wheels are the best I've ever seen.

Outstanding!
Thanks Larry,

I appreciate the kind words..
