Default New wheels on my ZO6!
I just finish putting them on the car and couldn't resist taking some pics of the car. They are 18in lg world challenge wheels all around. It was easy to pull out the car out of the garage but when it was time to back in, man was is it a PITA

beautiful car and some nice rims. Now all you need is to lower that thing and it will change the whole look of the car.

Vette + Snow = sweet pics !!! I hate the snow man, but I too have actually taken the vette out of the garage to let it idle when there was snow. I usually shoveled first but still took her out. Black vette, white snow, great pics. Your EB looks great against the snow as well. Love the wheels

Nice looking rims i must say. A little more drop would look sweet but might be rough with chicago roads.

Super looking wheels! And I think you have the height just right. I actually like 18" both front and rear too. Mine is an 08 with 19" in the back.

Sure glad I'm not where you are in that cold and snow.
