Default OEM Z06 wheels installed

After a lot of shopping around I came across a deal I couldn't pass up. I got these for 600 so I pulled the trigger and am pretty happy with the look I got for the money. These made a huge difference on the car. I've got some z28 centers coming so I can stop posing like I've got a 427. The front end needs lowered and I'm thinking 6le front and side splitters to compliment the 6le rear bumper with diffusers I have sitting in the garage Thanks for looking and enjoy!

They look great. How much hammering did you need?

Thanks man, I'll let you know when I finish lol. My friend n I so far have spent about 30 min per side with a BFH and an air hammer. As of now it's still rubbing in the twisties. The work is a little more extensive than I would've liked but in the end it'll be worth it. The tires are Eagle F1 325/30/19's so they are packing quite the punch. 150k mile oem suspension isn't helping...

Im jealous of LS cars because this hood is still available, I think its one of the best hoods out there for our cars. I have an LT car and I have searched high and low for one and nada, nothing. Nobody sells them and no one wants to rid of them. They sure beat the SS hood being that everyone and their mama's have them**

Wow, Thanks! I understand why you'd feel that way, I've seen some horrible pix of this hood on various cars, almost discouraged me from buying one and going the ss route like everyone else. They're hard to pull off. I feel like it was worth it to put the effort in, the pay off for me was having something a little more unique than the next guy. Really looking forward to getting the splitter kit from 6le to take her to the next level.

They're within an inch I'd say, very close but no rubbing. I couldn't even mount em at first, had to hammer in the lower/front facing inner corner just to get these to sit flat against the hub. My first drive was to the stop sign right outside my driveway and back lol, they were rubbing pretty bad. Haven't been able to work on it and won't get to until I get back from san diego but I'll let u know when I get them fitted what it entailed in case you decide to go this route.

Pretty much never. After never "finishing" either of my Camaros, I actually told myself I'd leave my WS6 stock cause it was so clean. HA. That plan went out window...

But that's what keeps it fun and interesting I guess.

What he said, I could never get rid of her, I still get an insane amount of joy out of just taking it for a short cruise. Have a 9 month old baby girl n it's still in the garage, nothing can stop me now lol. That's usually the demise of our beloved toys but for me, it's just made the end result just a little further away. What is the end result? Hell if I know but I'm enjoying the ride
