New wheels on my C6!
Ive been having some traction issues since I finished the built. Current mods are ls3 with ported and milled heads, cam, fast102 intake & tb, vararam and headers.
Just bought HREs (18 front 19 rear) from a close friends and now Im using 325s at the rear and 275s in the front and feels so much better
Hopefully next week i will install the z06 brakes. Still havent decided which color to paint the calipers though. Any sugestions will be appreciated.
Anyways here are the pics have a great weekend everyone!

I'd start with checking and cleaning the wheel sensors. Also some of the clips maybe loose and need to be pryed apart to make a snugger fit on the brackets.
Nice vette. Does it get a lot of attention where your at?

Corvettes are much more rarer in the Europe Compared to the US. I get good attention while driving around. Especially a lumpy idle gets a bit of crowd since its full of 4 pot cars around here... I got a C6Z back in states and I can tell you that Corvettes are more expensive and gets so much attention compared to the US

As for the calipers, I think there are only two good choices with a beautiful black car like yours...red with black letters, or black with red or silver letters.
Take pics when done, okay?

Nice ride, great color, and the wheels show off the car's beauty.

Don't know what power you're putting down at the rear wheels, but is the car actually slipping or just the notice of traction issues? It could be that even w. the size of tires, your car is just "overwhelming" the available traction with the size rubber you have on it.
As to caliper color, there is another choice which is a bit different: yellow, as in what some P-cars and F-cars use. With black letters.
I like the overall look of your car, beautiful and the wheels do help.

Thanks! Sometimes black paint can really become a nightmare though

And for the calipers between red and yellow at the moment.
Thanks!
Thank you!

Your rims look outstanding. Congrats. I went to an all Corvette day at HRE last year. There is no doubt that they make a top quality wheel. Their manufacturing set up is incredible. They are expensive wheels but you get what you pay for.

I like the way the wheels/tires come out to the lip of the wheel well.
