Default New wheels, pics

couldn't stand the wagon wheels, so i picked up a set of z06 wheels, and based on the forum's ideas, went with the firestone wide ovals, I will post my feedback when i get some miles on them!

The wheels look good. Can you show a pic of the tires from the back showing the width?
Thanks,
Jeff
