Hmm...

The OP should have clarified this but I believe he has a 2003 Z06 so he'll be needing 17" front and 18" back.

I got a set of Firestone Firehawk Wide ovals in C5 Z06 sizes and it cost me around $1000 incl. shipping not including installation.

If people would just do a basic fill out of their profile it sure would help us all out..... I felt like I just wasted 13 minutes of my life looking up all those prices and posting all these posts... Well, at least my post count got 4 posts closer to 10,000..
