I think it looks good. They are a little skinny, and the car could maybe use some lowering but I give it a

I think they look slick! Only change I would make would be to switch to red-line tires or else get the rims of the wheels painted red to match your car. That'll break up all that black.

They look ok. Needs a taller tire as stated. Also maybe a little red to the lip of the wheel to break up the tire and wheel a little bit.

Well thanks for the compliments. I do need a little bigger tire in the back and it does need a drop but otherwise i like em. Yes the back hubs needed grinding. Ive never seen this done so i thought i would be the first... I got the wheels cheap and the powdercoat was free and so was the tires so for a little time and effort it was worth it for me. The other wheels I had on it were horrible...

Nice to see another Red 93 T/A round here.
I would agree with others and say meatier sidewall and because the wheels don't have a lip, definitely consider red pinstripe around the edge. I think it will tie it all together and it's been somewhat of a new trend. Seen a couple C6's that way.
+1 for CETA and drop!
