I have been debating front and side splitters for my AW Z51 and those pics sealed the deal. Looks really good. Love the wheels too. You did a really good job of modding but you did it tastefully and knew when to stop.

At least in my opinion.

Once again, fantastic looking 'Vette OP.

These HRE FF01's are one of our top sellers simply due to it's combination of great styling and super affordable price.

Keep those pictures coming!

^^^ Love the wheels. You piqued my interest when you said the words HRE and super affordable in the same sentence. Would be interested to know your price.

Thanks for the kind words folks! I am very happy with it.

Affordable for HRE's is what he should have said. You are still looking around 3500-4K after new tires. I do not recommend using the stock Z51 tires, the wheel will be proud of the tire. I should have gone 10MM wider than HRE's suggested tire size.

^^^ I'm currently running all season tires. The OEM Z51 tires are brand new and sitting in my garage so I was thinking of getting an extra set of wheels to put them on. So you're recommending that I not go with this combination? Would like more details as to why. Thanks!!
