Default New wheels & tires...........

I just wanted to share my pictures with you guys on the Forum. I'm retired now so I have to watch my money a 'little bit'. My son needed new tires for his 2002 Camaro SS so I thought that this would be the perfect time to 'help' him out with my wife's blessing, I'm not just another pretty face you know. I gave him my run-craps with 15,000 miles on the chrome thin spokes 8.5x17 front, 9.5x18 rear. They look great on his car and he is very happy. I bought my deep dish wheels from Corvette Wheels. Jason Hunkler set me up and even though there was a back-order for the 10.5x18 rears, from the time that I ordered to the time that I received the wheels, it was still only two weeks to my house. There was a special going on at the time and I paid $850.00 total and that included new lug nuts, delivered, to my house. I almost bought the C-6 Z06 style but to many people around me have them, and I do like them, but went with these... Hope you like them....Oh,
I almost forgot...Nitto NT05 275/40/17 on 9.5x17 fronts, Nitto NT555R2's 305/35/18 on 10.5x18 out back..........
