New wheels (pics kinda big)

I really love these I just got them on monday.....I went with 18x9.5 (275/35/18) front and 19x11 (295/35/19) rear. I just wanted to share some good shots I took over the holiday.

Looks great -

Any reason you didn't go with a 305/xx/xx width tire? I'm considering the same upgrade to 18/19.

Thanks guys!

I'm as low as I can go on stock bolts.

about the 305's .......those were out of price range and the 295's are an arm and a leg already.

I don't have as deep pockets as some fellow C5 owners.....I gotta budget

Looks awesome. Did you mean tires, or did you get new wheels and tires?

Those look like BGF KDWII''s. Where'd ya get em? I've priced them out on tirerack and discount tire.
They seem to come in at about $950 mounted and balanced in those sizes.
