JSB Z with New HRE's/Lowered on Stock Bolts

Some new bling - bought these HRE 549's 19/20's from forum member 69 Vette. It is lowered on stock bolts. It looks so much better lowered. Now it's time for an alignment!

Nice - what tires are you running? How far did you bring the car down?

PERFECT. I ALMOST bought those wheels. I couldn't quite swing it at that moment. They are IMO THE best looking aftermarket wheels made for a z06. If I were to buy any new wheel that would be it. I've seen 1 other z06 with those wheels a while back so when I saw them up for sale I was doing all I could to put the cash together, and couldn't get it done in time. Your a lucky man, your car looks great.

love the wheels!!
- Chiclets be gone!!
- The amber on the front needs to go...clashes to much with the stripes.
- Tint the windows....

Yes, I know...everyone has their opinions...

Looks awesome! Love the wheels (would like them better with black centers)...

OK - two more questions - how do you remove the stupid GM chicklet? Where did you get JAKE?

I used a piece of fishing line and just used a sawing motion to remove. I got the jake chiclets from forum member "austinnm". I don't know if he is still making them or not. I do know there is a new vendor making them but they are slightly different.

Okay - I wasn't going to mention that but you are very correct! These were my goal - just had to be the right time!

I do have a set of OEM tires w/ less than 200 miles w/ LG Comp Grey World Challenge Wheels for sale if anyone is interested (wheels were only mounted and have less than 25 miles on them).
Here they are:
