I took the 5.7 badge off today. Looks better without it I think.

Never been a fan of c6s. And never will a wheel larger than an 18 ever see my f body.

I already have a flat black blackbird stripes on the hood and a flat black bird on the front license plate cover. It's hard to tell in the pics. It really stands out when light hits it from certain angles.

Some pics with my old wheels.

Pics with a GOOD camera. The guys hated the places where we took picstures. A new shoot is in the works at a place where they know the lighting is good. Can't figure out how to post te pics. They were sent to me.

Yes I do too on regular wheels. Not 15s.. The chrome lips ends up being very big and just becomes and eye sore to me.

They are not too bad. Just like any other black wheel. You get some dust on them. I race my car quite a bit so braking from high mph doesn't help I don't think.
