Default Finally got my new wheels!

I got a new set of wheels/tires for my Z28 a couple of days ago. The best part is that I wasn't out any money for em`. I sold my buddie's car for $700 more than what he wanted for em and he gave me the wheels in return. They are brand new. Not realy sure how much I like the skinnys in the front as far as handling goes but all in all I think they look pretty good. They are WELD Draglites. The front is 15x5 and the rear is 15x10 with 295/50s. The first picture is how it looked when I bought it. Let me know what you think.

Hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's cool if you don't like em' everybody has different styles and tastes. Anything looks better than stock salad shooters. Worst factory wheel created in my opinion. Plus I like this set a lot better because they were free and new.

the back wheels and tire cool cool, but the front is just killing it, what u could do is put a smaller tire in the front in my opinon. I like those rims, my frind has some of those kinda lucking rims on his 5.0 and they look cool, cool for no money involved, that was a great deal man.

Ok, the camaro salad shooters are nowhere near as ugly as the Sawblade style 4th gen vette wheels, those were just puketastickly ugly...

anyway, with that statement out of the way. They deffinately look better than the stock wheels, not my personal preference if I were buying wheels, but you can't resist free!

I agree, when I look at those rims I think of good OL’ American muscle, of course there not the best set of wheels for the car, but there awesome either way… Great looking Z btw

Smaller tire for the front? They're only like 5" wide. Or are you talking about a shorter sidewall? I will probably trade the front wheels and tires for 2 that are 8" wide. No way will able to hang any curves with those on the front.
