Well, I finally made the move from non-chrome to chrome wheels. I got a deal through a friend of mine and bought four brand new tires and brand new stock 2006 Corvette rims. These are the same rims that come with the new 2006 cars. The tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 P285/35ZR 19 in the rear and 18s in the front.

So now looking at the vette I think I need to lower the car just an inch to close the gap between the tires and the fenders. Do you all agree? That and paint my brake calipers red :D

Very nice! Yes, lower one inch using the stock bolts. That gap is fairly hefty.
