Hi BadC5,
I might be missing something here, but I don't see any pix?!?!
BTW, I'm a new neighbor of your's...checking out the 'vette scene in the Houston area. I'm in the market for tires (for sure!) and wheels (maybe) if I can find something that I like and won't break the bank...

thanks Badc5!
Glad to be here. I talked to Discount Tire in the Woodlands, most of the wheels were OEM looking 2000+ or Z06. I would like to see what else there is out there in the $200-$300 per rim price range. I'm thinking of stepping up to 18/19's too...got see what is involved...
I think Discount is great! We bought rims for the wife's 04 Durango and they just fixed a leak in one of the tires for free, even though we didn't buy the tires from them...I'm a customer for life!
I'll give Jeremy a call....thanks, Bill
