Default Changed wheels to C6 Z06

Well I decided to change wheels on my vette. Personally I really liked what I had, but the problem is that they are very cheap, so every other car has them. Just got tired of seeing them everywhere. I wasn't really looking to change wheels so soon, but my buddy was selling the wheels off his GTO so it seemed like a sign

Here's the pics. They are C6 Z06 replicas in stock C5 sizes.

I like them better than the old ones, even though it looked really nice before.

Nice Car!

Great choice they look great on your car. I saw the same wheels on a pewter C5 and it looked great as well.

1. Get some rear chrome inserts

2. I would have gone with the C6 Z06's in Chrome, but either way they look better than the black ones!

3. I can't wait until I get my black C5 FRC at the beginning of next month!!

I'd polish 'em.... but I think it's an overall improvement in comparison.

Hot Corvette, you must turn heads.
