Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Ha! I tend to agree.... and if that's what you're going for, then great... I mean, you are coming to RTTC this spring right?

Well thats not good. No of any other options?

RTTC is definitely the plan, and definitely with 200 tread wear tires.

You running the NT-01's?

I don't know what to tell ya bro... you keep posting wheel options (or any of us for that matter) and there will be a mixed bag of opinions. I just think there are certain wheels that look more "racy" than others... some have that "pro touring" look and do not look racy to me.... then some can accomplish both. i think the GA3R is a great example... some of the Forgelines in certain finishes are examples. I dunno, this is just my opinion.... everyone has one.

I have not mounted the NT-01's yet.... will for the January Thunderhill day one way or another... I think I might just pick up a cheap spare set of the C4 ZR1 wheels and put the NT-01s on so I don't have to keep swapping. That cost adds up!

not sure if it would matter for you or if you know this but there are 2 different offset options for the 11" zr1s

It was nice to meet Gaetano today and BS about camaros. The pics do not do it justice and having to put fronts on the rear didn't help much either. I think the black centers look good on that car. If you did gunmetal it would just add a 4th color to the mix. The black centers tie in with the black grill, spoiler, interior and numbers. It would be a hard decision between the WC3 and GA3. I say go with the GA3R with satin black centers, diamond cut with polished outers. I have some good pics of your car but can't get them small enough to post.

Thanks dude... yeah I saw some different offset options when searching ebay. I'll have to figure out what I got first.

Thanks Guy, it was great talking to you and your dad today and thanks again for the help. I agree, the black satin centers with the polished lip looked really good and the WC3 is a sweet wheel but ultimately I know I will go with the GA3R. Purpose built wheel going on a purpose built car. Seems like the consensus is to go with 18's but thats everyone elses choice. I'm sticking with 17's. I just think performance wise its the way to go for my car.
