Default oh yeah!!!!!!

Just did the same thing to my Pewter 98.......had the magnesium wheels on it before...........Have you noticed how much further out into the wheel wells the ZO6's are? I REALLY like that look --- fills up the wheels wells visually and has a much more aggresive stance now....I used TOMZ wheels too.........one was out-of-round, but they immediately agreed to replace it.....should have the new one today....
