If feels like I've got a new car. For the 1st time in months, i can get to full throttle without breaking the tires loose. No more wheel hop when I shift gears.

Whoever invented run-flats for performance cars should be shot.[/img]

detail
Z06 Motorsport wheels
Kumho Exsta MX tires
Front: 18"x9.5" 265/35-18s
Rear: 18"x10.5" 295/35-18s

Now, USPS just need to hurry the hell up and get my brake pads and rotors here and I'm back on the track

Yeah today was an awesome day to be there. Sad to say I wasn't.
Wheels look good.

My stock wheels are stacked up in the garage with bald tires on them. I'm probably going to hang on to them and might get some all-season tires for them.

Unfortunately, they look horible and need to be refinished before they can be used again. The clear coat has worn off in a few spots and there is some corrosion forming that nothing has been able to get off. I'm thinking about taking some sandpaper and black spraypaint to them so they don't get any worse. I'll probably put them back on the car when I ship it to the states so my good wheels won't get messed up, but that's over a year from now.
