The first post has the details "17 x 9.5" in the front with 18 x11.5" in the rear. Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires will be mounted. OE size in the front and 335/30R18 in the rear".

It would look better if you ran the Michelin PS2'S. The 335's on the rear really fill out the wheel wells and look better than the 315's in my opinion. Those wheels do look nice on your car. I imagine their a bit lighter than the A-molds.

The combination of the weight savings & better tires made a noticeable difference in handling and ride quality.

Thank You. I was considering the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S when I was thinking about doing 18" all around or an 18/19" setup. Unfortunately, the widest 18" was only a 295 and I thought a 19" wheel would look too big. I'm very happy with the Continentals.

I bet it would. The one thing I'm not crazy about the ZR1 is the huge amount of mass in every corner. You can just feel all of that weight moving around.

I've always wondered what the base Vette with the 15 inch wheels would have felt like. It certainly would not have been the fastest around a corner, but it might have felt the lightest on its feet, and the most fun.
