Default Black rims on a silver vette!

Got the rims on the Z06 today. I lowered the car on stock bolts. Came down around 3/4 of an inch. All in all the stance of the car looks good. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy!!!

The rims are the same size as stock. 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear.

Thanks Doc, I took that at night so the lighting was not that good. I will take some more pictures when it is light outside. That and the car needs to get detailed too. Damn cold weather. Must be nice in texas!

I forgot to add that the last two pictures is after I drove the car a little. The first 5 that I took was after I rolled it off of the 2x4's. So the suspension was not settled down yet in the first 5 pictures.

Glad I could help out Badass 68

here are some more pictures I took of it today after coming back from the vettefest. Needs a detail, but that is coming when this crappy weather breaks.
