Default new rims are on...
Well I took some preliminary pics last night and couldn't get any good light, not to mention my batteries are almost toast. So these will have to do until this weekend when I can take some nice pics that aren't blurry or have bad lighting, etc. Anyway, for those of you who wanted to see them...

old rims...

new rim close up...

Sorry about the quality of the pics. I will get some nice ones for sure as these don't really do the rims any justice.

Thanks, yeah I am about to lower it when I get some spare time. Problem is my front air dam scrapes my driveway as it is!
Rims are the C6 Motorsport machine face style. They sell them at Corvettes of Houston.

I like the newer Zoh wheels....those also would have looked good. Those rims haven't really grown on me that much yet.

It came with Z06s...LOL! And they are so popular that I decided to go with something different. I have been looking for a long time and I liked those right away. Guess that is what makes us individuals, we all don't think alike.

The new Z06 rims aren't available yet...LOL! There is some rims that are similar, I saw some on a Vette at work. I didn't like them as much. If you see these in person, you may change your mind.
