265s up front 315s out back. About as large as they can go... I can't believe a 11.5" wide rim fits under there well!

I know some may find the color combo offensive but i simply love it.

CCW really makes nice stuff, it isn't cheap but well worth it. I think they are like 18 lbs or something, but I'm not sure.
 
Max...I was thinking of buying your car. Not anymore. :) Not my style, but they are nice. Is it just me or do the rears look smaller than the front because of the body style of the car?

whoa whoa whoa you are supposed to be buying my supercharged 97!! :)
 
Lol...ya man, probably not, but that was awhile ago when I wanted Max's Vette. :)
 
Wheels are 18s front and 18s out back.

The factory wheels were 17/18s. I am not selling my stock wheels since they are pretty much worthless... hahaha

Well the wheels are a bit polarizing to some folks. Most love them and some consider them "ugly" not really an in-between gray area anywhere.
All I can say is... with the wider/better tires this car is pulling some insane Gs in the turns.
 
I thought your factory wheels were hard to find/expensive. I remember when you had a cracked rim and it was a PITA to find another.

I bought two reproduction rims, the factory one was $500-600 a pop new from dealer and I didn't want to take a chance that it may crack again buying used.

They look 95% the same, a normal person won't be able to tell the difference lol.

Here is a pic of that crack :( 30k miles on those rims.

I'm not sure how I feel about the wheels...

I do love the LED halo tail lights :D
Do you also have the projector HIDs?
