That is why we went with 3 piece, but no where near 5,000 HP

It may be that the first tire shop scratched mine and it makes it seem that way. That's good to hear. They sure looked good on your car at the show.

The wheels I am adding are Iconz 630ZR's. Just wondering.
Does this help answer your question? ICONZ 830ZR on a 700HP car

1 car at a time. I'd love for her to have a Corvette, however that doesn't make it a good idea to have two big new car notes. Trying to reduce debt, not compound it.

I hope you or anyone else didn't misunderstand my post. I do believe what TheModCity said about the IOM camaro and the wheels and happy to hear it.

My comment was really targeted to TheModCity poster and the fact that he gave me some information regarding my wheel order that I didn't even know. And I thank him for that information too.

So that was kind of an inside joke with him, not sure if anyone else would have understood it and hope I didn't come of like a jerk in my post. And although I can be a jerk at times I wasn't trying to be one this time. My bad if I did.

$3600 color matched/shipped/ rims and tires. Was going to spend about 1500 more on 3 piece set, but kinda having a problem with the color scheme on the 3 piece rims I was looking at. The last four sets of rims I have had, I only have saw a couple times on other peoples cars, and never on the same vehicle I was driving. I always spend stupid hours on the net looking for something I like and never seen. Custom right? I dont want mine to look like yours
