Those wheels kick ass! What is up with the tiny tires? What kind/size are they? And don't worry about speed bumps plus the drop, it's not as bad as you're expecting.

I love these wheels black. Reminds me of z06 wheels, which is a wheel I've always wanted, but could never find an aftermarket replica that looked close enough...gee who woulda thought GM would have made them themselves lol.
