Cool Project C6 gets new rollers - Photos...

After a LONG wait, I finally received my DPE forged wheels for the C6. These are stock size wheels (18s front, 19s rear) and I used the factory tires. The car is lowered about an inch, but the rear could probably use another inch drop.

These are DPE model R05-S, in optional gloss black paint. To see more of their wheels, visit www.DPEngineering.cc

I need to install my Cartek torque management and fan modules. Then install the Magnaflow catback system with X-pipe. I'm also shopping for a supercharger.

so you're the guy they told me about lol they look great, and you've got good taste. Those in the 18/19 combo looks really good on the C6, it's a perfect fit.
