FINALLY, they're here!!!

It has been a LONG LONG LONG wait (18+ weeks). It was an estimated 6 week turn around, but that definitely wasn't the case. I'm excited that they finally arrived. Can't wait to mount these bad boys!

I'm going to go with street tires in 315/35/17. I might go with Goodyear GSD3's. I'll be putting some Nitto's on my ZR1's for racing.

I really like the GSD3's I had on my ZR1 wheels. They hooked up very nicely and rode well.

Yup, I have them on my ZR1's right now and I've had them for 3 years with a lot of tread life left. I like the looks and how they handle etc.

Just...... wow.

**tatertot91** · 12-04-2011, 02:37 PM

Its nice when you can pick the wheel up above your head with one hand isn't it
I love how light they are

Are they lighter than OEM?

Just picked up one of my 10 spokes and the fikse 17x9 was significantly lighter. never put mine on a scale unfortunately

**2001camaroSS** · 12-04-2011, 03:45 PM

I don't believe I can say the same about my CCWs, especially with the chrome plating. I wonder how much difference OP will experience when he swaps the wheels out.

**tatertot91** · 12-04-2011, 04:12 PM

My iforged are chrome and there is a big difference between the fikses but those are 18s, sure the chrome makes a difference though

Yes, they're very light. By the way what tires do you have on the front and rears? How do you like them?

I doubt I would feel any differences with just a little weight difference.

The fronts are just Sumitumo htrz3, wasn't crazy about em but i got them at a good price and they do pretty good in the rain. Rears i got Nitto NT05s which do great on dry pavement, rain could be better but for what they are i was impressed. Only thing i don't like is they do run a bit skinny for a 315 but not by much.
I'll see if i can measure the overall width later
