Default New wheels and tires.

I got my new show wheels and tires .Ordered them from Tomzwheels and the service was super fast! Great prices. I weighed them compared to my stock wheels and goodyear gsd3's.They are 10 lbs. heavier per wheel,not good but since they are for show only it will work.The new wheels are 1" wider than stock and the tires are the z06 sizes so that is part of the weight difference. These tires are really quiet and stick well! I'm a happy camper.

Default close ups
