*Edit* Hey Jason, did you notice a sharp reduction SOTP power with the extra meat? Or do you already have some "GO" mods under the hood to compensate?

for now, just some H & H. (headers & honker)

i'm sure there was a loss in accelleration, but eventually i'll make up for that loss with a true power adder.

Man these wheels look great. And they are cheap too!

Anyone know the weight of the reproduction ones? Are they equivalent to the stock weight?

Keep em' comin! I like them more and more after each picture I see. It is a subtle but very tasteful change from stock! That is what I like

I believe they are very similarly priced now. I have had mine since '05, before the C6Z06 repros came out.

Here is a pic of the two, pretty close together for comparison.

Nope Reproduction wheels with OEM rubber . I had first tried to fit the 325/35/19 in the rear but the beads would not seat to seal so I had to settle for the 285/35/19 rears .I still love the look anyway.

I think I like the Z07's better! I think I will probably go with the 18/19 combo if I went with these.

Just out of curiousity, tire sensors are expensive as HELL, lol. Do you guys run the tire sensors still now that you don't have the oem stock wheels? I have a digital tire pressure reader, one of the handheld ones... so do I really need to spend the $500 extra for sensors?
