I've been looking at getting some new wheels for a long time now. I've just never really found what I wanted and what I was willing to spend my money on. Well I guess good things come to those that wait. Jesse is upgrading his wheels(he can tell you what he's getting) so I'm buying his Smoothie II's off him.
The wheels are 17x8's up front and 17x10's in the back. I already talked some local shops and as soon as I get the wheels the tires are coming off and they are going in to get the spokes powder coated black. So they'll have the same style as my ZR1's but instead of paint they'll be done right. I'm thinking I'll keep the ZR1's for when I just want to drive the car around and put the Smootie's on when I really want the car to look good.

In case you don't know what they look like: (Check out that rear lip)

Thats going to look badass, I loved when adam Had them powder coated on his old T/A. I was thinking of going the same route with my car someday.

I liked his as well but I like the looks of the Smoothie II's more than the Torque Thrust II's myself. They are a little different so they'll stand out more and the lip on them(especially the rear wheels) is just perfect.

Yup, can't wait.

I also really looking into buying the C5 brake upgrade to help fill these wheels in. I would get the Z06 calipers as they come from the factory in that bright red. I would love to have both the brakes and these wheels done for the spring cruise.

I have no doubt I'll put them on right away if anything just to see what they look like but I agree. Even not powder coated they'll look good but with the dark red and blacks on my car I think they need the dark spokes.

i think dark spokes is a good idea and brake upgrade even better idea but the wheels........nice that's the only word you need

Nice choice. I've been wanting those for a long time. I'm actually trying very hard to get a job with Boyd as we speak... probably wont pan out though. :rollseyes

Awesome Chad! I have always thought that you were really missing wheels for your car! This makes it 10x better!
