What would you add/change

Now I cant lower it (had to remove sportlines to enter the new Apartment parking lot lol)

I'm loving the new gunmetal rims (OEM z06 wheels). But anything you'd add or change? Maybe Black B-Piller, etc etc. Let me know!

I would start by finding a new apartment and lowering it. Other than that a hood and wider tires in the rear. your tires look like they are too narrow for the rims.

They are 295s right? This gentleman is right though, they do look narrow.

I say WS9 if anything.

Honestly, I dig it as is.

Yeah those rims are not really doing much for your car,there not bad looking but a 17x11,or 18x10.5 would look killer,honest the key to a show car lower it,throw some ccdubs on there,also agree on 4 inch corsa clones,nice ride though,

I honestly liked the chrome wheels you had on it before better. I know they were skinny, I just think the chrome looked better than the gunmetal.

The wheels. IMO C5 Z's look HORRIBLE on 'Birds.

They don't flow at all....look atthem, they have straight, square spokes...where do you see straight lines o nthe car? They just don't work for me on these cars.

At least they're the nicer version of those...the black ones with the rivets are the worst.

Even a set of OEM WS6 wheels (either style) would look so much better. IMO NBM needs a shiny wheel, or at least a gunmetal wheel with a polished lip.

I LOVE my '02 Speedlines with my NBM.
