Default Got my new wheels

I couldn't stand the stock chrome snowflakes and after having to get some body work done I finally went for it. I have the deep dish 17/18 C5 black with machine face from oewheels. I put Nitto NT05s on all for corners 275/45/17s up front and 295/35/18s out back. Fit perfect no rubbing and they cleared the bump stops but I went ahead and trimmed them down a little just in case. I originally wanted gunmetal TT2s but I am I glad I got these instead I think the black wheels work with the black top.

I would love to, but do you see that speed bump next to the car? I already drag on them at its current height and I cant always go around them. But that's ok I should be moving soon. Besides the next items on my list are headers and a stall I can't stand not being able to break my tires free at a standing stop much longer.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have had 6 people ask me if the car is for sale since I put these on. Every day I leave my apartment to go to work I can't help but look at them.

scj - The rears are 10.5 inches wide.

Lizard - I will put up some links for the full resolution photos later if I can remember.
