Default Installed DD C6Z06 rims!
Finally got rid of the stock salad shooters and picked up a set of DD C6Z06 rims from a member on here. 17x9.5 on all four corners on 275 BFGoodrich tires.

Wheels are in great shape minus one light curb scuff. Really changed the look of my car for the better and I personally love the way it looks! Next up is a Bilstein/Strano setup so get rid of the truck stance.

Before:





After: (excuse the dirty car)




If anyone has anyfeedback on the rims or would reccomend other shocks/springs that'd be nice. Thanks

Sticker says "VTEC kicked in yo" making fun of the local ricers lol.

No clue why the back end so jacked up but I'm hoping the strano's and heater hose mod will give it a good stance. Can't think of any reason why its so high up
