Can't go wrong with Saleens. Interesting thought too, so those tires aren't directional? Hard to find a performance tire that isn't.

I am hoping these will hold up like a performance tire. I have Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's on now and I have complete confidence in them taking some of the dog-leg style turns in my area in excess of 120+MPH but I will build up to that with these tires. After I have them on for about a month I will do a review. Some of the vette guys I read reviews from said they really took these tires to the limit with great success and even the stock late model vettes are faster and corner harder than us in modified trim so I think they will do fine.

Invo's arnt really a performance tire..... mainly a "baller" tire.

The vette guys that buy Invo's are regular DD vette owners.... Not Z06/ZR1 owners lol

yeah well, regardless when you put in tire size 295/35-18 it's usually not an all season tire that comes up. that and i really don't care about what Vette guys do.



Droptop definitely let us know how you like them.

I finally got the center cap decals in along with the black lugs/locks from AM.


They sent me the wrong decals. I order a black background with a black chrome logo but they sent me a regular chrome logo. I sent an email and the owner Tim shot me out the correct one's ASAP!

Heres a pic of the chrome and black chrome just for comparison.

The Black Chrome is on the right

The ZR on the center cap is raised so I am going to file it down before I spray some glue on and add the decal, then a shot of clear for protection.

where's my drool icon?!?!?!

Nice work. you're taking a much easier approach to the saleen centercap. I bought the actual center caps from Saleen (which were expensive) shaved the backs off them and glued them to the caps that came with the wheels. They still didn't fit quite as good as I wanted but they worked and never came out lol.

I thought about going that route but this was much cheaper and easier to find then real Saleen center caps. Plus you know some mofo is gonna jack those real caps one day :)
