my god those rims are gorgeous....if my motor didnt go i would def want to get something close to that....

to the op: i had some of the C5 thin spokes on mine when i got her but they looked terrible imo....get some Z06 either C5 or C6 and throw some wide tires on the back and ull like what it does then....

im partial to the C5 Z06 ones though....thats just me
