I have O.E.M. wheels with Kumho tires that came on it. They will need to be replaced this summer. Not sure what to use.

'96 LT4. Wheels are repro C6 wheels, 17x9.5 all around. Continental Extreme Contact tires, 275-40 in front and 285-40 on the rear. Wheels are powdercoated Hyper Silver, not a fan of chrome on Corvettes. I like the A-mold wheels but there's so many out there. I wanted something a little different, plus I like the 5-spokes...easier to clean.

I believe you first have to decide if you want to stay OEM or go after market where you have thousands of choices. Does make it difficult, stay classic or go spicy?
