I almost went with those till I found out the weight. Way to heavy for me. They do look nice if you dont care about the weight

If the owner doesnt mind, could someone photoshop the pics so pic #7 and the last pic the car would be black? I have been on the fence with these and would love to see how they look with black.

No wonder the rear tires look so thick, they are 295/35. I'm surprised that the AH/TC didn't say anything with the huge difference front to rear OD (more than 1").

The stock rear is 295/35/18, the 295/35/19 is approximately 1" larger (OD wise). Do you notice any decrease in acceleration ?

no not at all, acceleration seems to be the same traction is better, because my supercars were bald lol! Next set of tires I will most likely go wider front and rear with lower profile in the rear, but I need to see whats availible.

Not perfect, but you get the idea, I have been doing this alot lately trying to see what I like.





I see east coast corvettes has pricing includes 18" and 19" rims with BFG rubber, lug nuts, caps and new sensors for $2499.

I am sooo close to pulling the trigger on this one....

I have the Chome Crays on my '01. If you get tired of the Cray logo you can swap those caps with the plain ones from OE Concepts. We also carry the Crays and can put a package together.
