Those are beautiful wheels!

Great project, fun to follow. I hadn't seen those wheels before, very cool!

Year one just came out with them and had the contest to win a set and get the word out on the new rims. They recently came out with 17" version of the honeycomb, as well, which is the other wheel I lusted after, but beggers cant be choosers I guess. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

They also have the 70 and up Z28 wheel in 17" aluminum, too.

Got the tires delivered over the weekend. BFG had a $50 rebate that ended Friday. Discount Tire had an additional $50 discount (which just conveniently happened to cover their "free shipping" which just so happened to boost the price of each tire to match The Tire Rack's price with shipping) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]. I got the BFG 275/40x17 sports.

The car rides nicely, handles great and there is no rubbing whatsoever. Year One definitely got the offset just right to fit the second gen F-body cars.

If I had it to do all over again, I'd probably get a taller tire like a 45 series, just to fill the wheelwells a bit more. The 275/40s are 25" tall, a 235/60x15 is 25.5" tall and a stock Polyglas F60x15 is 26".
