Welp... Heres the tires...
Falken FK452 THe same as I run on my 300C


The side design of the tires isnt intricate, but not basic...
The fronts are:
255/45/18 on a 18x8
The rear is:
275/40/18 on a 18x9.5

I wish I could ask my dad. For whatever reason, hes been ignoring me for quite some time for random BS reasons. From what I got out of him without really taking a good look he said black...

Lets just say... I think the black is nice, but I don't want my classic well respected corvette end up like in the class bracket..


I think the black or chrome is gonna turn the car into this.. The chrome $$$ wise not worth it anyways... so its between the black and grey. IDK if the gray is just too plane jane for the custom viper GTS blue and the gigantoid 383 power stroker... with classic accented interior... or the black is just too..  "D-Street" Ghetto.. for the classic whip.

Maybe this is a good time for me to remind you that one of the most pure Corvette muscle cars the Grand Sport had black wheels on it. Me thinks that is kinda a long ways from a DONK....

Keep up the good werk Louis ... She be lookin gud.

At least the lil bits -n- pieces of er that ya will let us see...... ha - ha - ha...

YEs, the grand sport did have black wheels, and the blue well, a bit darker than mine, was close!

I did join the site when I was 16.. My dad got me the Vette as a project with him when I was just about 15 and a half or so, back in 2003-2004... Thats how long its been. I carry a 40Cal glock G22 all day, I drive American cars, I talk how I want, I only ten to buy American Products unless I'm backed into a corner.. I am a rare breed in my generation of lost values, dumb rice rockets, and class.. not to mention the "wimpy" type as I refer to it. When I started carrying I dropped a lot for friends that gave me crap  over it... they were too weak for me.. I will collectively put all the suggestions from the 2 forums that have this posting and make a decision shortly..  these wheels are on a load for test fitment...

However I must also add, that the C4 was by far the WORST design for the Corvette,well, EVAR!
But its heritage

I always liked the Grand Sport and also liked the C4s. I owned and 85 and a 92. I also like the Glocks, own a few of them too. As far as the wheels, I could live with any of the three. I would probably go with the gray. Thanks for sticking with the American products.
