Judging from your name yours is also a black Vette. If so these might help:




With 11" rims you really want to go with 315/35/17 tires.

Consider these. I think they are flat sharp and would get a set if I had the funds.

I don't think you'll beat the price. Many members have supported this sponser and are very happy.

yea i have a 88 triple black convertable (idk if this triple black thing is a urban ledgen or not) long story short my dad always wanted a vette and he got sick and couldnt ride his harley any more so we traded it for a vette hes since passed away and now its mine and its some what of project and one of the 1st things i wanted to do was put these rims on the back and lower it

your guys vettes look sick on these rims i want to get the black ones. or if i get real crazy order the crome ones and powder coat them (i powder coat on the side) black crome its my new fav color

does anyone have a rear shot and are any of you guys lowered?

I used to have 4 of those 17x11s on my car and it was lowered a ton.







Only a little rubbing on the inside of the front fender. Not enough to worry about.

I want the Black/Machine lip ones. They look awesome. For those of you that have them, Do they ride good or do they feel heavy?
