Maybe it's because I dont have the money/patience to play with different size tires on the larger rims...or my cars stance is just all wrong..or a combination. Maybe larger wheels just dont "fit" my car. Figured I'd post my compilation in chronological order heh ss mags silver rally's staggered junkyard dogs zq8's black rally's with adjusted stance Zr1's LsX: DO IT~ 11.32 @120mph

Canada	The black rallys really do match the "I'm not trying" attitude of your car really well, but man does it ever look good with the zq8's. The Zr1's look really good on there also, & the chrome matches the lower body trim well. However, they brighten up the car just a tad too much. Just thinking out loud, but how about blacking out the Zr1's? Plasti-dip?
