Looks like it's just you and me on this one TJ!! And yes, they are the same wheels as the Orange GT3RS

I like the painted look on the rims and the deep lip. I don't know if I would run them but they don't look as bad as everyone is making them out to be.

I can only speak for myself, but the wheels look too blingy - technical cars require technical wheels....HRE's would have been a better option.

I don't care for the wheels either. I think the stock wheels on the Z06 look killer. For once, if I owned one, I wouldn't have to incur the cost of custom wheels.

It is a bit high for my taste as well, but I can understand not everyone looking for the super low look that a lot of us prefer. HRE's were an option, but apart from the looks they are still a 3 piece forged wheel/tire package that is 3 to 4lbs. lighter per corner. Just a different finish than most are used to. Plus the added grip of the Michelin PS2's was a huge improvement over the Runflats. Differnt strokes for different folks. So far we have TblackJ, MrThe Kid, and me who like it....wooh hoo we almost have a little club.

I put the Michelin 345 PS2's on the back of mine and it made all the difference in traction. That thing launches like it's on slicks now and corners harder than I can take it.

Lip is good. Wheel style is bad.

Are you going to break out your tool kit and kit and put a blower on it? For the customer's sake, I hope not

Needs a drop and new wheels imo

Stock Z06 wheels in chrome would have done the job much better...

I don't know, must be old school. I still like chrome with the right color (mainly black and red )
Here is my '01 Z06
