        rims were $940 with chrome locks and labor (hammering fenders, 1/8" wheel spacers in rear) and tires were $1000 for all 4. normally the rear tires alone sell for $400-580 EACH (tirerack.com and 1010tires.com)! p-zero rossos, as i soon found out, are not cheap at all. After tax and tip, it came out to $2,300. But i got a GREAT deal on the rubber. i got them almost at cost because the owner of the wheel store is my buddy. he did profit on the rims themselves though. a very worthwile investment, i believe. Turns heads everywhere.

          What was the extent of the fender hammering? And are there any turning clearance issues on the front? Did you have to recalibrate your spedometer?

            the standard vette rims are +79mm offset and i got 56mm rears and front. i hammered very little, about a 1/2" and only on the left side. No turning issues at all and my speedo is off by like 1 mph. no biggie. the cars gas mileage and performance dropped SEVERLY! i get 2 mpg less and probably lost a full second if not more in the 1/4 mile. But shes a cruiser now so its all good [img]smile.gif[/img]
            gas here in sd is 3.05 , 3.15 and $3.25!
