Default Nice day, good pics blacked out with new OZ wheels
Cleaned the Z up a little, took it for a spin, and got some pics with my camera (not my phone camera this time). As posted in my other thread, new OZ wheels (courtesy of slwsvt). 19/20 setup with 285/30 Invos front & 345/25 Invos rear. Added blacked out tailights (also courtesy of slwsvt) and I DIY blacked out my side markers. Love the look.











What the heck, one of my engine bay too.

You can buy the wheels only for less than 2k.
I think they look as good or better than the
more exspensive Concave wheels on the market.

Thanks for the compliments!

I lowered it when I installed the wheels. I got 2 1/4 turns max on the rear bolts and duplicated the turns up front. After a couple days of settling in, it looks like I got 3/4" drop on the rear but only about 1/4" to 1/3" drop on the front. I plan to work on the fronts again this evening and see if I can get a little more. Maybe I can get another 1 1/2 or 2 turns.

No GM chicklets here - they are the Jake C6R chicklets and I like them chrome - don't plan on doing the Z06 emblems black or black exhaust tips so I'll keep them chrome.

I do believe they weigh approximately:
19x10" - 23.4 lbs
20x12" - 28.2 lbs
