wheels look good on your car, just need a drop! and if those are 20x10 in the rear, you def. need to wrap those in 295's

lol, first off nice comment!

I love how they look on your car, lower it, and wider tires will look perfect. and IMO they look like crap on that corvette, they look alot better on your car

Those are NOT iForged wheels. They are "Imola" brand wheels. This is what the iForged Imola looks like:

Not for me but your happy so its all good. I would be really careful and paranoid with that wheel. Also it looks like it could be better if the car wasn't so stock looking. I'm not knocking the stock look, but big wheels need other modifications to balance the whole look out. First thing should be the stance. Good luck with the car.

To be honest, I'd rather see some TT2s or some "knock off" z06s. These wheels look terrible IMO. You know these dubz are probably slowing you down with them being 20s. I guess you don't have to worry much with your lt1...
