Default New wheels and tires...Pics

Just had a set of 18" wheels and a little more rubber put on the Z. What do you guys think? I know lots of you don't like the bra, but until the bugs die down around here, I am going to leave it on.

Wheels look okay, I don't like chrome/polish wheels on sports car. And the fitment is terrible. I like the house though ^_^

Not a big fan of chrome on white, but they're pretty wheels These would have looked good on my black LS1 back in the day. Very nice bud

You asked...the wheels,especially chrome just don't do it for me.
Maybe on a lady driven roadster.Also,19's would look better(not in chrome).
What are the offsets?Can't really tell from the pics.The last shot,they look
pretty sunk in.
But,if thats the look you want,its your car.

I don't like black wheels on any car. black wheels make the car look like it lost it's hubcaps . As for polished and other wheels, not for me. I like chrome wheels on any car, not 20's or 22's, looks to getto for me but 17, 18, or 19's work good.. The offset is 20 so the wheels fill in the fender wells better than the stock wheels did. 255/45/18 on the rear and 245/45/18 on the front. Thanks for your opinions good or bad!

Black wheels are played out... ask me how I know
Offset is good but you lack width.


You're taking our opinions well but why take the pictures down?
Is that your house btw?

I agree with BMurray. Pretty awful in money opinion. Also, what's up with that steering wheel cover? It looks weird.

I like the pave stone driveway. I'm going to do about a 150 sq. ft. addition patio when it's not 200 degrees outside.

I guess I must have a different eye for beauty but I think you wheels look just fine. I still love chrome or polished wheels.

I like polished/chrome finished wheels. It's just the wrong style of wheel and the lips are too small. I had GTCs back in the days and they were pretty common on this forum.

What's going on with the steering wheel? In the third picture, it looks like a bike rim without the tire and with the rubber band covering the spoke nipples. I'm sure it looks better from another angle.

If I ever had to drive a car with hubcaps, I'd probably take them off, so I'm ok with that. Not a fan of the chrome, but you build it the way you want it...not for everyone else.

After all of the information that we have pushed here you couldn't get something in a more decent offset? Spacers should help you but man work with me here!

I am also not a fan of the finish of the wheels as well, honestly this look and fitment would have been in style at least 5 years ago but just looks dated today

I have black wheels but I have a polished stainless steel lip. I don't like totally black wheels but the bright lips seem to make things look a little better, at least to my eye. Here is a pic of my car. My wheels probably look a little dated but they have been on my car for a little over 7 years.
