Default some new shoes

Finally got around to moving the car to my new place and took the chance to take some pics of the new wheels and my b&b exhaust......again.

Oewheels 18x10 on all four corners hoping soon I can put my 6le rear diffuser on

That's exactly what I would get if I decided to get another set of Vette wheels. Looks perfect nice choice!

looking forward to more pics. What offset are you running on the front and back and did you have to run any spacers . Does the front rub much ?

C5 rims have always looked good on fbodys and you can't beat the price of them either. I almost got them..........Went with the corvette spiders.

Nice job blkbyrd!!! 2 years later even lol
