Corvette Central sells the SLPs for $1k for the set (chrome). I sent an e-mail to them and they responded saying that they weight 23.5 lbs each (bare rim weight).
I see MAM has them for $700 - are these chrome or black? They say hyper-black, but the picture looks like they are aluminum (not chrome)

OH, these clear fine with a VBP plastic spring and 8" bolts....they also clear fine with moving the ebrake tab, and with sway bars too....without going to extremes of altered trailing arms/etc....

I just purchased the SLP's from mid america with free shipping on the rims. After seeing your pictures and hearing your comments, I am thinking of going with Kumho 255/50/17 in the rear and 255/45/17 in the front. The treat width is exactly the same as my BF Goodrich Radial T/A's 255/60/15's on the car now but with a 27 in diameter in the rear and 26 in diameter in the front. I am looking for an inch reduction in the diameter in the front versus the rear which will give the car a slightly pitched forward stance. The 245/45/17's have a 25.7 in diameter and I am taking your word that you would go bigger based on your experience. Your thoughts?
