the TT's are very nice as well, are they more expensive than the Coys, a friend of mine told me that they would be $775 for 2 @ 17" and 2 @ 18". What size tire are you running in the rear? and any pics?

I believe that the ebay store actually belongs to Coy's. They do some ebay sales like alot of other retailers. They are just now getting around to making the polished 18's so there won't be any available until mid to late april. It seems as though there is more interest for these wheels than I thought. Maybe we should approach them with the idea of doing a group buy on them. Is there anyone else out there that likes this idea?

I get the vette out of the mod shop in the next few weeks and depending how much $$$ the final bill will be you can count me in if I have the bucks left over. I would love these wheels on my vette.

what brand and model tires are the ones you have? only seem to be able to find tires for a sport truck or suv in that size (255/50-18)

Sorry, needed to look at the tire again. I used Falken brand 255*45*18 all weather perfomance tire, Ziex ZE-512 tire. The 35 series was just too little rubber, gave it the "G-Ride Supreme" type look. No way I was going to lower the car enough to kill the gap. Anyway, the OD was still 27.1, with the 45 series tire, which if I recall was pretty close to stock.

Thanks ferndog. Yes the stock tire is a 225/70-15 which makes it 27.4 inches tall. Just as a reference for those who need to know how to figure tire height, heres the formula (using the 225/70-15 stock tire):
225÷25.4=8.86 (25.4 is how many mm in an inch)
8.86×70% (or .70)=6.202 (this is aspect ratio- width to sidewall height)
6.202×2=12.404 (×2 for both top and bottom sidewall)
12.404+15=27.404 (15 is the rim diameter)
total tire height is 27.404 on the 225/70-15, all you need do is plug in the numbers for the different tire sizes and rim sizes to figure the total height of any given tire/rim combo.
there is also a chart here tire height chart
