Smile New Shoes!
Ok.....so I "Accidentally" (don't ask) bought some new wheels/tires.

I think I may keep them and run my BBS's as track wheels.

BBS's are 18's and these are 19's.

What do you think?

They look good- kind of OEM-ish with a bit more flair. Love the big lip.

i know where you got those! i was gonna pic them up but passed on them. you got a pretty good deal on those. they are a little "dated" but i think if you match paint them, should be all good.

c'mon man give me some slack... nah, but nothing's changed in terms of feel from my 19x12 oz3s. my c4s is as fast or faster than a stock c4s no doubt and i really didn't mod the engine much. the additional weight is minutiae. the visual enhancement is well... GAME OVER. the thing you guys can't appreciate is the look when it's moving. the rear looks insane!

No....I wasn't bustin on you, I just wanted to know if you had ever weighed them.

I did. These weighed 56.5 lbs for the rears - wheel & tire.

You pay for the 19" bling with added weight. They were almost 10 lbs heavier than my BBS 18's w/ 295's.

I have the same size...315's and they are friggin huge.
