My most expensive mod to date...

HRE 540s 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 with BFGoodrich KDW2s in 255/40/17 and 295/35/18. I'm just waiting on the new TPM sensors before mounting them up. I also bought a set of Gorilla lugs to protect my investment.

Looks nice...but why not upgrade to 18/19s since you bought new tires anyways?

I would rather have gone with an 18/19 combo, but this set came available at a great price. Tires are also cheaper for these sizes.

I call them an investment to make myself feel better about spending that much money on a set of wheels. I also don't plan on getting rid of them if I ever decide to sell this vette... they'll go on the new one.
