Default New Wheels

Lighting is really crappy, but I honestly don't care. I am thrilled with the purchase of these CCW 505A's. They are used, but in absolutely stellar condition and I got them for an insane price.

I have already lowered the car from its factory ride height and the rear bolts are bottomed out. Once I cut the rear bushings, I will get the whole car down a bit lower to complete the look

Your car looks great with those wheels! It can look even better if you put some tire dressing on the tires to help them blend into the wheel well.

You are like the 10th person to ask if they were 17/18's. I guess since the C6 runs so much sidewall they look smaller than they are.
