Default AFS Polished ZR1 Wheels On My '94 DRM

Hey guys,
It's the moment we've all been waiting for. THE WHEELS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED! I have more pics than ya'll will be able to tolerate .

Initial impression: "Man these are huge"
First driving impression: "She's on rails and no longer chirps into 2nd"
Excellent cornering and look absolutely awesome

Check it out

Man oh man! You are really tempting me to spend money!!! Those are really nice! The rears are so wide, I love them! How is the grip of the tire? What was the overall cost after shipping?

Dude those are sooooo nice!!!

Those rims look great -- and the tread pattern is sick.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I saw a red cobalt the other day with some chrome rims that set it off. Normally cobalts dont stick out, but this one had some nice touches!

Hahaha, thanks guys. I hate to burst your bubbles, but these wheels arent chrome, they're bare aluminum that is polished to the extreme lol. The car no longer gets squirley popping into 2nd at WOT, and she hooks up like a champ. I couldn't have made a better decision

$1312 out the door, shipping included. These tires are rated for 186mph+ too!

I agree with lowering it, however, I really don't want to scrape everywhere haha. I'm worried that I'll destroy my longtubes

275/40/17's up front
315/35/17's in the rear

They were WAY shinier than I expected. I honestly was hoping for basically silver, but these turned out very nicely. I love em!

Good luck with that...

They look really good, I'll give you that for sure, but if you actually drive it any distance at all you are in for a lot of polishing.
