Default New Wheels and tires!

Here are before and after pics of our '00 coupe...new wheels and tires from "Sneakelman" on the forum. Can't tell you how happy I am with these..my former runflats turned out to be from '03...and very hard rubber. The non-runflats BF Goodrich are much, much quieter, and really grab the road...and yes, feels like a new car. NO rattles anymore!! Mr. Bill, you were right..car looks much, much better (to me) with these wheels!! Bob

They look great on your TR Bob. Will look even better once the suspension settles back down.
You do know the mod bug usully starts with wheels, then a few pieces here and there, then.......

I was always partial to the thin-5-spokes. They really set the Vette off.

Enjoy the ride.

Nice choice in the wheels - they looks very sharp on your car.

Default tires and wheels

Jims...the tires and wheels are standard 'oo C5. You can probably find the "new" wheels at Mid America...tires are BFG non-runflats, and are much much more silent than my original Firehawk runflats...but found out that they were 7 yrs old! Have no idea where the original purschaser found the C5 center caps...not decals, but script. Bob
