New black C6 stockers on... I got a set of C6 wheels off an '07. I was going to do a write up on painting them black but the wheels were new & it was so easy a write up would be pointless. I used the Duplicolor wheel paint & clear + some adhesion promoter. The tires are Pirelli 295/30/19 rears and 275/35/18 up front. I used a 1 1/4" adapter for the rears. I also lowered the car with some pretty nice off-brand shocks and springs. I didnt go for the popular suspension combo b/c Im on a budget and Im not a race car driver. The drop is around 2" so it took a little bfh and some fender rolling to loose the rub in the rear. My car is 10 1/2 years old and it has 125k, I know its far from perfect so Id appreciate if you didnt point out the imperfections, I know what they are. Ive had it for 6 years, Ive taken pretty good care of it. I plan on lightly nightshading my corners and tails as soon as the weather clears up. I apoligize for the shitty pics, its raining and the cars dirty but there are a few people wanting to see the set up. I hope everyone enjoys!

It's the Duplicolor spray. Its nice and thick and dries really hard, especially the clear. I was messing around spraying stuff before I used it on the wheels, it's pretty neat. I ended up using one can on each wheel and used 2 cans of clear for the four.

do yuo have any issues with the drivers side rear rubbing the outerfender lip?
Because it looks like the rear end is offcenter, in your pictures. IMO, If you have a adj. panhard bar adj. it a little shorter to center it up.
Overwise it looks sweet!

The rear is nearly perfectly square, the car is sitting in an uneven gravel driveway.

i normally **** on solid black wheels but those actually look hot on that car! I think the reason they look so good is you went with an 18/19 combo instead of 17/18 so the bigger wheels pull off the black look a little nicer!
For a 10 yr old car i think it looks DAMN good!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! I picked up some black lug caps that look great but I only could find 10.
I'll get some better pics up before long when I get all the caps on and nightshade done. Ive been pretty busy and have been putting off the car for a couple days.
