I don't know..... Sck wheels, but that tire makes the rear rim look über small.

 

[Sn95Snake]

Such a sick z!

I don't know..... Sck wheels, but that tire makes the rear rim look über small.

Its a stepped lip and yes a 18 does look small on the rear of a C6 but that extra inch in tire vs wheel makes a huge difference putting the power down, especially on the street where it is 99% of the time. I had 345/30/19 Nitto drag radials and went to the 345/35/18 MH drag and this beast is hooking first gear now. Function > looks anyday of the week for this car. My e55 is all wheel and no tire lol

Looks and sounds awesome. Been to the track yet?

thanks man! not track time yet. Bought it over the winter, had it out on the street, got caught racing and lost my license for 90 days. I get it back in 2 weeks and then it goes to get new heads and a 100 shot. Shooting for 600 rwhp NA and 700+ on the juice. Should hopefully go 9.90's with a clutch NA and 9.60's on the bottle. It is so much easier to drive then my Cobra was and I was able to pull 10.65 out of that car with not great 60 foot times.

Now that they're mounted, the wheels look good. And keep it on the track bro. A yellow Z with a built motor doesn't "blend". Lol. That's why I love my AMG. It's not even remotely a cop magnet. ;-)

 

[dizzygoat]

I personally like your setup, I'm about function over form.

I'll be the first to say it, pictures of the AMG Merc.!

 

[Sn8kebitten]

Looks great! Love the black and yellow theme. But the tire and wheel look bent as hell in the "Before" picture. Is that just the angle of the picture? Lol

Great point, personally I'd go with a 15-16" wheel for the full drag look If I was looking for functionality. I think 18" with a big tire looks a bit awkward, like a middle ground. Just my opinion though, if you like it than awesome lol. Look like a clean car.

Very nice!

Meh vette is OK but let's see pics and vid of E55!!! Is it stock?

 

[bleedingfordblu]

[CobraBob]

Looks and sounds great. I do like the wheel choice. You have a really good looking C6 Z! :rockon:

With the huge factory brakes the smallest you can without a spacer is a 18" and there are a good number of tire options. If you think a 18 looks small a 17 looks very tiny.

Very nice!

thanks!!:rockon:
