Default More SSRs! Thanks Yellow Viking.

Thanks Tom,
I'd been on the fence as to which wheels to get. Your post a few weeks ago showcasing the SSRs on your MY coupe made up my mind.
I appreciate you answering my questions.
I got the Satin finish.

I ordered the wheels and tires through Damon at TireRack.
He is at extension 643.
I was impressed with his professionalism and promptness.
There were a couple of "bumps in the road" with my order.
Damon and Lynn at customer service were wonderful.
Kudos to you both.

I got the BF Goodrich G-Force tires...265/35/18 front and 295/35/19 rear. I love them. The ride is a big improvement over the Yoko runflats. (and they were good)

I've only had the wheels on a few days, but have received lots of compliments.

These wheels are beautiful. The pictures do not do them justice.
More pictures are in my gallery on CorvetteForum.

I upgraded my Baer rear rotors to the +1 size to fill the 19" wheel well up a little better. Thanks to Shawn at LAPD.
He's always been great to do business with!

Enjoy and thanks again Tom!

Pedro

Hi Pedro,
That looks Great! Your lowered vert looks awesome.
I am also happy with my BFG's. I really appreciate your thank yous.
Your right about how the wheels look in person. They are
much nicer looking up close. I am going to post your pics in
my thread also, as I was looking for more C5's with SSR GT3's.
Enjoy the compliments. Thanks again, Tom

I wish I had the Baer's with the larger rotors in the back and the black hats.
