Show me your 19" Wheels!:)
I'm thinking about changing out my rims this summer. I currently have the 17 & 18" Chrome Z06's. I really like the rims, but I was thinking about going with a bigger size. I was thinking about putting a set of 19" Chrome Z06 wheels on the Vette!
Do you think they will look good? What size rims and tires do I need to make sure that will fit front and back and will not affect my speedometer? I would also like to have a little lower profiled tires. What series and brand tire would I need?
How much should this setup cost me, and where would be the best place to buy? Please post pics of your wheels! Thanks in advance!

Derek -- I know you've already seen my HRE's, but here's another shot of 'em. 19"s in the rear, and 18"s up front. I prefer the staggered look.
Good luck!

I hear you, Derek -- that's why I picked mine up used!
Maybe you can find something you like, used, too.
