Bronze Wheels on SS

Looks good!

What size and what do they weigh?

Thanks,

Mark

Mine are 16 inch and I got them from Discount Tire Direct. If you order them with tires (as a second set without TPMS as I did), you can save a bundle. Very good tire price to start with, no sales tax, free mounting and balancing, and free shipping came out to about $100 more for four wheels and tires than it would have cost me locally for tires only. They do come stock from the Konig as 10mm bore, not 12mm as needed on the Gen 2 cars. Call Discount Tire and talk to one of their reps and they will have them bored out and retapered at the factory at no additional cost.

The color looks really good .. I have been thinking about bronze wheels for my SS but wasn't sure if it would clash. Looks great.
