Default Impatiently waiting on the big brown truck!

Waiting for the UPS guy to deliver my OEM Z51 Silver wheels for my Non Z51 Coupe. Got a great deal on eBay from the seller who recently took delivery of a new '15 Z51 and preferred chrome wheels.
I also purchased a set of Michelin Pilot AS3 Non run flats, TPMS sensors and nuts...now just waiting for the wheels, so I can get the tires mounted and balanced on my new wheels.
May sell the base 18" 19" silver painted wheels and tires. The wheels and tires are excellent ( no chips or marks on the wheels and the tires wearing even with 7.5 32nds on the front and 8/32nds on the rear.

Liked the base wheels and tires but always preferred the look of the Z51 wheels.

Good luck and keep a sharp eye out for him.
Coincidentally, UPS e mailed me that they delivered a package to me at 1:00 today.
No such package. Called UPS and had my package within 20 minutes. Turns out my UPS guy delivered some parts I was expecting to my neighbor today. Not too bad.

I don't really need the wheels (I have TSW aftermarkets on my vert), but might be interested in the tires at the right price...

Default Stupid Question

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm a newbie. Do the larger wheels affect the speedometer calibration? Are the tires sized to compensate for the larger wheels? Just wondering.

Would rather sell them together. But will take $1150 for everything! That's $350 less than the tires alone at Tire Rack.

The height is almost the same, no effect on the speedometer. (Wheels are bigger but the profile of the tires are lower)
