New Wheels
The man in the brown truck just dropped off a set of chrome Z06 wheels for my white on white 98 6 speed vert. I went with 18s all around. I should have the Bilsteins friday. This weekend on go the shocks and Z06 sway bars. I still need to decide what tires to run - 265x35x18 front and 295x35x18 rear. I'm running Kuhmo's on the stock wagon wheels now which is my only reference. Looking at the BFG T/A KDW 2. Is anyone running these?
Thanks to Chris and Nate at Corvette Garage.

Just don't go with the Yokohama AVS Sports! They look cool but are worthless under hard acceleration. Just my $.02.
