Default New wheels and tires

After not having any luck finding some rear reproduction stock argent wheels I opted for a new set for the street. I went with Morxchn C6Z06 deep dish 17/18 wheels in gunmetal with 275/40-17 Falken 615’s up front and 305/35-18 Nitto 555R’s in the rear.

So far I’m loving the DR’s. It’s nice to just floor it in 1st gear having minimal wheel spin with the T/C off. Just need to get use to the soft sidewalls in the rear for spirited driving. lol

Nice look, where did you get them? What was the cost for rims only?

Thanks for the kind words guys. Overall pretty happy with the wheels and tires. I was kind of skeptical about the fake rivets but they are growing on me and it seems a lot of aftermarket wheels have them on there now.

I got the wheels off that popular auction site. It was considerably less than anywhere else I've seen. Don't know if I'm allowed to quote the price because of the forum rules though.
